Take a walk through the gigantic 1.5-km tunnel with side branch lines and air trunks, immersing yourself in the experience of soldiers in the Second World War.

Not far from Uzhhorod, surrounded by the Carpathians, thermal waters flow from below the surface of the Earth. Springs are rich in health giving properties and responsible for the high spirits of Zolota Hora’s (Golden Hill) visitors.
