The spa is visited during the time by the great personalities: I.Francis emperor and Charlotte empress, francis joseph emperor and elisabeth empress. In 1852, austria's emperor considerated Baile-herculane as the most beautiful spa from the continent and Elisabeth (Sissy) empress' intimate diary is presented Baile herculane as a marvellous and distinct place.

CLIMATE

The climate suffers Mediteranean influences. The average annual temperature is of 14°C (July average 22°C; January average 5°C). The annual precipitation averages 750 ml/m. Winters are mild, summers cool, spring is short and comes early and autumn is long. The air is powerfully ionized (2000 negative ions/cu.cm).


NATURAL CURE FACTORS

The spa's weather is specific for mountain's depressions, Baile Herculane being on the same parallel with Nisa and Venezia.

THE SPRINGS have a high radioemanation level, similar to the ones of Vichy and Montdore.
At present, 16 natural springs with thermal mineral water, scattered along the Cerna Valley for about 4 km, are known in the neighbourhoud of the resort.
In the late decades 9 hidro-geological drillings have been performed in order to obtain important flow increase.
The present-day thermal-mineral water supply the resort as in store is of 4.000 m3/24 h, that offers - due to their physical-chemical properties - various possibilities for the balneary treatment.
The clorine and sodium wich are found in great quantities(from 7mg/l to 4700mg/l), generally appear in thermal waters trough the effusion of hot mineralised vapors from the magma pits, trough the action of hydrochloric acid on the minerals in the rocks, the vapors go out to the surface of the earth.

THE NATURAL AIR - IONIZATION (2.000-2.500 negative air-ions/cm3/s) increases the resistance of the body to catching disease. Air-ions act on the organism by entering the lungs together with the in-coming air as well as by direct action on the skin.
