Frequently Asked Questions

Not every river is safe for swimming. Some rivers can have strong currents, deep areas, dangerous rocks or poor water quality. You should always check if swimming is allowed and safe before going into a river.

Yeah, but be careful. Some mineral water fountains are drinkable, but not all of them. The mineral composition can be very different from one fountain to another, and some water is only made for bathing. Always check the information around the fountain before drinking it.

Thermal water can have very different temperatures depending on the spring. Some sources are only warm, while others can reach more than 90°C. So if the water is too hot, obviously you cannot go inside directly. The water has to be cooled down before entering a swimming pool.

Diving can be pretty dicey in thermal pools, especially when you don't know the depth. Some pools are not deep enough for diving and there can also be other people or rocks underneath. So basically: don't jump into a random thermal spring just because it looks nice! 😭
