Thermal spring water properties

 

La Contea exploits its own thermal spring whose water, very effective and beneficial, comes from Lessini Mountains in the Prealpi.

This water flows down to 2000-3000 meters underground and, over a few decades, covers about 80 kilometers, enriching itself with mineral salts, and then arrives at Terme Euganee spas, where it springs out at temperatures above 80°C.
