Podhájska village is situated on the southern part of Pohronská hills at an altitude of 170 meters. It is one of the oldest villages in the Slovak Republic. You can find it in the triangle among Nitra, Levice and Nové Zámky, 12 km east of Šurany.

The water from local springs is unique worldwide with beneficial effects on the human organism. A detailed study showed that in some problems, especially asthma and various skin rashes, the water from Podhájska has the deeper and longer lasting regenerative effect than water from the Dead Sea.

Miracle Water
The research proved that the water comes from a Tertiary sea. Fish teeth, pollen grains of plants and other biological material that were found in the bottom layers prove the age of the source.

Curative effects of highly mineralized water are suitable especially for the patients with musculoskeletal system problems, respiratory tract diseases, skin eczema, psoriasis, digestive tract diseases – especially the pancreas and spleen disorders.
