The Polques Hot Springs have a high content of minerals which is said to relieve the symptoms of arthritis and rheumatism. The water temperatures hover at a comfortable 29°C. They are by no means boiling but offer a blissful contrast to the chilly weather outside the pool. Undoubtedly, the best time to arrive is early in the morning for sunrise or late at night for sunset. Ambient temperatures are often as low as -5°C or -10°C which makes changing into your swimwear a major challenge.
