The Arabatska Arrow is recognized as one of the most amazing natural formations in the world. It is a narrow hundred-kilometer spit stretching along the eastern coast of the Crimean Peninsula. On one side it is bounded by the lake-gulf Sivash, on the other side it is washed by the waves of the Sea of Azov. Its body consists of sand and broken coquina. The miracle is that in the depths of the spit formed underground water, not simple, and mineral-thermal. Other spits of the Azov Sea and coral islands similar to them in genesis do not have underground water at all.
So, on Arabatskaya strelka two places of dislocation of mineral water are found. One area of occurrence is near the village Schastlivcevo, where hot water was «discovered» as a result of construction, and later artesian wells were drilled to increase the output of liquid from underground reservoirs. In the literature, this place is referred to as «balneological health resort No. 2» or skvazhina-schastlivcevo.html»>well No. 25.
Another place where underground water is preserved and saturated with minerals under the layer of rocks was the village of Genicheskaya Gorka or Gengorka. This area is known as the «balneological cure under No. 1» or Hot Water Spring. It is Treatment Center No. 1 has become the main place where guests of the Arabatska arrow can maximize the benefits of the healing power of thermal Arabatska waters.
