DRUSKININKAI - Lithuania's premier spa and southernmost town, lying close to the Belarus border, 130 km southwest of Vilnius. Picturesquely set on both sides of the Nemunas river, it is surrounded by pine forests with numerous  junipers in them, thus giving a wonderful fresh air. Extremely healthy for holiday makers and people coming to this town for wellness and treatment programs. A small swift-flowing rivulet Ratnycia crosses the town, while in the centre there's Lake Druskonis ,nicely decorating the surrounding area with its fountain and swans.

The town's name derives from 'druska', the Lithuanian word for salt. Seven mineral springs of high saline content are used to treat cardiac, blood vessel, gastro-intestinal, gynaecological and nervous system disorders. The history of Druskininkai as a health resort began in 1794 when the King of Poland and Grand Duke of Lithuania Stanislaw August Poniatowski issued a decree assering curative properties of local waters. In the first half of the 19th century professors of Vilnius University carried out research work on therapeutic values of local mineral springs.The first sanatorium received patients in 1838 and their number was growing with every year. Today Druskininkai has 20 thousand of inhabitants, 17 renovated or newly-built hotels and modern SPA centres.

Calcium and sodium chloride mineral spring waters of different mineralization,containing more of magnesium and bromine,with chemical composition similar to the well-known European mineral waters, used for treatment, are found in the resort. Mineral spring waters are efficient in healing stomach, intestine, muscles, joints, spine, peripheral nervous system, cardiovascular, gynaecological, skin as well as enocrine system diseases.

Druskininkai mud works wonders! The resort is rich in peaty mud deposits.Mud treatment distinguishes for the thermal and chemical effect. Remedial mud is used for treatment of connective tissue and skeleton, muscles, digestive system, joints, nerves, urogenital and respiratory system diseases.
