            The Oglinzi Resort is situated in the Nord – East Romania, at 3 km from Târgu NeamÈ› town, in a beautiful hilly area characterized by a tonic climate, with moderate temperatures and a negative air ionisation beneficial to health. It’s located in Poiana DăscăliÈ›ei microdepression, in the south-east of PleÈ™u Hill and administratively belongs to the town of Târgu NeamÈ›.

 

History

            The Oglinzi Resort was founded in 1889, on the initiative of Târgu NeamÈ› Hospital‘s doctors. In 1850, the healing proprieties of the springs were discovered, and professor Petru Poni established the efficency of the waters for performing spa treatments. The therapeutic qualities of these waters were recognized worldwide (the waters from Oglinzi hold the 5th place in Europe for its therapeutic qualities).

          After experiencing a period of prosperity, until the time of the Second World War, when it was visited by many patiens, including the king Carol II which often came in the summer for profylaxis, some of the resort’s buildings were destroyed in the war. In 1970 the resort was closed and reopened in 1988 with two functional pavilions. In 1998 a new treatment base is inaugurated.

 

The balneary and climatic potential

            Althought the resort is closed today for renovation, it has a huge balneary and climatic potential. The mineral water are chlorinated, sodium water, sulphated, brom-iodide water, with a mineralisation near to saturation. Spa water treats:

      Spa waters were used in external cure by treatments with magnetodiaflux, ultrasounds, diadynamic currents, hot baths, galvanic baths, paraffin packings, massage, medical gymnastic.

 

 

       The locals say that the mineral waters have miraculous effects for the persons affected by rheumatism, inflammations, nervous system problems and for the persons with sequels from an accident.

        In addition to the curative properties of the springs, there is a sedative–indifferent bioclimate beneficial for persons that don’t bear the stress of the climatic factors, for example the elders that suffers from joint pain and cardiovascular diseases, children with irritability problems, people in convalescence, etc.
