Eger's biggest natural treasures are its radioactive thermal springs that burst from the depth of the earth. Eger's thermal springs are more than one thousand years old. Even the Turks recognized their huge healing power and after having occcupied the castle of Eger, in 1600, they built big baths, which became the destination for pilgrimages from the Far East within a short period of time. According to a notification from the 17th century, the Turks valued the thermal water in an extreme extent. In the ilidzsas and kaplidzsas, not only the body was healed, but also the soul was given extra energy. In the area of the thermal springs gushing in a large quantity during the successive centuries baths and bath buildings were built, which met the requirements of the style of the given century and thermal water was used to cure patients at the level of medicine of the given age. Beside the use of medicinal water, the water of spring groups served as well relaxation, entertainment and sport.
