Summary: Went to the baths after a long drive and it was perfect to unwind. The place is large with 3 pools with different temperatures. If you want the cold plunge, you can go in the lake directly from one of the pools. There's also a steam room and you get a complementary tea with the admission ticket. The changing rooms are large, clean and modern, fully equipped with toiletries
