The Rojkov crater is a rare travertine formation with mineral water surrounded by the beautiful Liptov countryside. The mineral water is not the warmest – it is approximately 14 to 20 °C – but it is healing and, thanks to the strong release of carbon dioxide, it constantly bubbles slightly. The official name of the small lake is Teplica, but locals have long nicknamed it "Zlá voda" (Bad Water).
Natural baths with a unique atmosphere
Over the years, the spring water has created a unique travertine crater that remains active and is permanently filled with water. The diameter of this circular pool is about 12 meters, and its depth reaches approximately 2 meters. Wooden steps lead into the water for easier access.
Below the surface, on the bottom and sides of the crater, damaged wooden planks were replaced. This wooden lining is intended to facilitate bathing and ensure safe movement in the pond. From the bottom to the surface, bubbles of escaping gas rise in large numbers. bubliny unikajúceho plynu.
Beneficial effects on joints and skin
The small lake and its immediate surroundings are heavily used for natural swimming and recreation, especially during the summer months. While in the water, people feel a characteristic, gentle tingling all over their bodies. CO2 is constantly released from the lake, and calcium carbonate (CaCO3) is naturally formed. The water has a beneficial and healing effect, especially on joints and various skin diseases. Moreover, if you look carefully, you can discover fascinating imprints of leaves of prehistoric trees in the travertine walls of the lake.
Let's respect nature: Let's not forget that this place is a protected natural monument, which we want to preserve in its unchanged beauty for future generations. Please keep the area around the crater clean and take all your rubbish with you.
