Heated natural pools
Thermal baths are bathing facilities fed by naturally heated spring water, typically rich in minerals.

The term often evokes historic European spa towns like Bath or Budapest, where thermal bathing has been a cultural institution for centuries: We spent the afternoon soaking in the thermal baths.
