TURZOV BATHS - FROM Fame to Decline In 1903, the first wealthy guests began to come to the spa above Gelnica. The area was built by the local people themselves, they were able to offer top services.

The Villa Budapest, designed by Anton Müller from Levoča, already had central heating, flushing toilets and electricity at that time.

Müller is an important architect who left several typical spa buildings in the High Tatras and was probably the first in the region to start applying the Swiss style. Well, you would be looking for a villa in Budapest in vain. Like others, Baník, Božena and Dorottya no longer exist.

So far, there are listed monuments of Prague and Pionier. Prague, originally named Villa Thurzo and later Tatra, was the main building with hydrotherapy and inhalations. It has no roof today and probably no future.

But the past is great. The Budapest and Debrecen creams went to Turzovské lázně. She was attracted to suitable climatic conditions or bath treatment with broths from needles.

You have found tennis courts here, but also a bowling alley. It was boated - even on prescription! The guests were driven by a magnificent carriage with three pairs of horses. A gypsy band played on the pier in the middle of the lake. Not sometimes, still, she had her house here. The local Annabals have become famous.

But the war came and the spa was occupied by German soldiers, then the Hitler Youth. Eventually, the area turned into a pioneer camp and school in nature. Many have experienced it. And today? Judge for yourself ...
