Velingrad
is
the
most
beautiful
and
most
famous
among
the
Bulgarian Balneological
resorts.
Internationally
known
climate
therapy
and
health
resort.
It
is
situated
in
the
valley
of
the
Sandanska
Bistritsa
river,
at
the
foot
of
the
south-western
stopes
of
Pirin.
Without
exaggeration
the
climate
of
Sandanski
can
be
described
as
unique.
It
lies
at
the
western
end
of
Chepino
Valley,
one
of
the
most
attractive
part
of
the
Rhodopean
Mountains
in
Southern
Bulgaria.
Velingrad
is
situated
at
750-850
m
above
sea
level.
Summer
is
warm,
winter
is
mild.
Throughout
the
year,

temperatures
are
higher
than
anywhere
else
in
the
country.
The
average
annual
temperature
(14.7C)
is
the
highest
in
Bulgaria.
The
winter
is
mild
and
short,
and
the
autumn
-
long
and
warm.
The

humidity
is
low
(66
per
cent),
and
the

has
the

pine
tree
woods,
the
town
favours
abundant
sunshine.
This
exclusively
rare
and
valuable
combination
has
a
beneficial
influence
on
the
process
of
ionisation
(negative
ions
are
prevailing)
and
are
of
definite
therapeutic
importance.
In
the
resort
successfully
are
treated
pulmonary
cases:
pulmonary
emphysema,
chronic
bronchitis,
post
bronchial
pneumonia,
etc.
There
are
70
sources
of
mineral
water
with
curative
and
preventive
properties.
The
mineral
waters
(from
springs
and
wells)
vary
considerably
in
temperature,
mineralization,
radon,
silicic
acid
and
fluorine
content,
and
are
suitable
for
treatment
of a
wide
range
of
diseases.
9000
litres
of
water
per
minute
spring
from
the
five
thermal
and
mineral
deposits
in
Ladjene,
Kamenitza,
Chepino,
Rakitovo
and
Kostadinovo.
The
treatment
of
non-specific
diseases
of
the
respiratory
tract
is
particularly
successful.
Considerable
experience
has
been
accumulated
in
the
efficient
treatment
of
diseases
of
the
locomotive
system,
nervous
diseases
and
gynecological
disorders.
Together
with
the
numerous
mineral
waters
Velingrad
takes
pride
in
another
natural
phenomenon
as
well
-
the
Kleptuza.
This
is
the
biggest
Karst
spring
in
Bulgaria
with
debit
of
1200
litres
of
ice-cold
water
per
second. |
