About Covasna
Compact spa town in the Eastern Carpathians, known for CO₂ dry-gas baths (mofettes), mineral water cures and a strong cardiology tradition.
Mofettes & CO₂ therapy
- Natural dry-gas baths (mofettes) with high CO₂ concentrations; peripheral vasodilation improves microcirculation (under medical supervision).
- Covasna’s model is internationally referenced for cardiovascular rehab (“resort of the heart”).
Springs & cures
Carbonated mineral waters are used in external baths and internal cures; bubbles form on the skin during bathing as minerals are absorbed.
Treatment bases & mofettes
- Turism Covasna S.A. treatment base (Hotels Covasna & Cerbul) – unique base with 3 mofette enclosures located directly on the gas & mineral water source.
- Cardiovascular Recovery Hospital “Dr. Benedek Géza” – home to the largest built mofette (≈100 m², up to ~100 patients).
Hours & practical info
Schedules and prices vary by facility (treatment bases, spa hotels). Check official notices before visiting; some procedures require medical referral.
