sulfur baths

Mineral spring pools

Sulfur baths are pools or tubs of water naturally rich in sulfur compounds, typically found at hot springs.

People have soaked in them for centuries, believing the mineral content relieves skin conditions, joint pain, and respiratory ailments.

The experience comes with a distinctive rotten-egg smell: The spa was lovely despite the sulfur baths reeking of eggs.
