Recently, holidays abroad are in trend. All inclusive, hot beaches - it might be tempting. But within Russia there are a lot of places for recreation - both for passive lying on the beach, and for active pastime, and there are also those that successfully combine several types of recreation at once. For example, the resorts of the Caucasian Mineral Waters. Besides the fact that you don't need a passport and visa to travel there, there are still good reasons to go to the Caucasus. We tell:

1. Climate

Why are we so eager to go south? That's right, because it's always warm there. In this regard, the Caucasus is in no way inferior to other resorts. The climate here is mild and continental. You will feel the purity of the mountain air as soon as you find yourself in this area. It is sunny and warm almost all year round, cloudy days are only in the autumn-winter period, and even then not often. The average winter temperature is 3 degrees below zero (snow in Mineralnye Vody lasts a maximum of 40 days), summer temperatures are 19-20 degrees. At the same time, the weather is clear and almost calm.

By the way, as the inhabitants of Mineralnye Vody themselves say, they have the most favorable climate in October. It becomes fresh, while the heat does not go anywhere, like the sun.

The climate of Mineralnye Vody is pleasant not only for the soul, but also for health. It perfectly helps with diseases of the respiratory system, cardiovascular and neurological systems. According to research, Caucasian climatotherapy can delay the development of atherosclerosis and hypertension.

2. Nature

The Caucasian Mineral Waters is one of those places in the vastness of our vast country, which cannot be missed. If only because it is a real crime not to see the natural beauty that is there.

Of course, the first thing that strikes you upon arrival is the mountains. Tall and very tall, cone-shaped, incredibly impressive, covered with dense grass and forests. Mashuk, Beshtau, Zheleznaya, Byk and many others - they rise above endless plains and hills. Well, the main star of this mountain "constellation" is, of course, Elbrus - the highest mountain in Europe (height - more than 5, 5 thousand meters). Its two-headed summit, covered with a snow cap, is clearly visible almost throughout the territory of Mineralnye Vody.

In the mountains you can find high waterfalls, turbulent rivers and underground sources of mineral water.

3. Resort towns

Caucasian Mineral Waters is 4 cities: Essentuki, Kislovodsk, Pyatigorsk and Zheleznovodsk. Each of them is interesting in its own way.

The spirit of Lermontov's times reigns in Pyatigorsk. It is not surprising, because it was here that the famous poet spent his childhood and youth. The last days of his life immediately passed. The place of the duel between Lermontov and Martynov on Mount Mashuk is one of the main attractions of the city. Also Pyatigorsk is the place of adventures of Ostap Bender and Kisa Vorobyaninov. Monuments to their favorite heroes are literally erased by tourists to shine.

Kislovodsk is the most famous city among tourists.

Kislovodsk is the most famous city among tourists. Stepping onto Kurortny Boulevard (the main pedestrian street of the city), you will immediately feel like you are on vacation. A relaxed atmosphere obliges you to do this - no one is in a hurry, you can safely walk along the pavement lined with stones, look at beautiful buildings, admire the flower beds and fountains. It seems that the rest of life has stopped and there is only rest.

The same rest continues in the largest park of the resort, founded back in 1823 by order of General Ermolov. The park is the second largest in Europe. Alleys, monuments, fountains, ponds, Narzan Gallery - all this and not only can be seen on the territory of the park.

There is a similar place in Essentuki - the central city park. It is not as big as the Kislovodsk one, but it is very cozy and also disposes to a relaxed rest.

The youngest and still actively developing of all cities, Zheleznovodsk is also full of comfort and tranquility. By the way, in 2003 he was awarded the title of "The best city in Russia" among small towns.

4. Mineral water

Still, the resort is called Mineralnye Vody for a reason. There is a lot of water here. The unique medical base of the resort is created by more than 130 springs of 30 types. The total operational reserves of finished water are 16.4 thousand cubic meters per day. In each of the cities of Mineralnye Vody, pump rooms are constantly operating, where you can taste water from different sources - for medicinal purposes or simply out of curiosity.

5. Treatment

The government of the Russian Federation has assigned the status of resort cities of federal significance to the cities of the Caucasian Mineral Waters, and the region is included in the list of unique places in Russia. No wonder, because people come here not only to see the sights, but also to thoroughly improve their health. Every year the resort welcomes more than 700 thousand Russians, and 20 percent of them are children and disabled people.

Each of the cities that make up Mineralnye Vody, due to its individual climatic and geographical features, treats certain diseases.

So, the main profile of Essentuki is diseases of the digestive system: stomach and duodenum, chronic gastritis, gastric ulcer, diseases of the operated stomach, esophagus, functional disorders, colitis, hepatitis, cholecystitis, diseases of the gallbladders, pancreas, chronic pancreatitis, obesity, sugar diabetes.

The Pyatigorsk resort is responsible for diseases of the peripheral nervous system, mono- and polyneuritis, diseases of the musculoskeletal system, osteochondrosis, arthritis, skin diseases, vascular diseases, women's diseases.

In Kislovodsk, circulatory diseases (heart disease, coronary artery disease, hypertension) and diseases of the nervous system will be cured.

And the Zheleznovodsk resort will help get rid of diseases of the digestive system and diseases of the kidneys and urinary tract.
