Terme di Saturnia – where Jupiter cast bolts of lightning"},"content":{"rendered":"

Terme di Saturnia, geothermal sulfur springs in Saturnia are the most known attraction of this type in Tuscany. Their popularity is primarily due to the fact that access to them is completely free, and the mineral-rich water has therapeutic and therapeutic properties, also affects the appearance of the skin. When the water in the sea isn’t encouraging with its temperature to splash, the pools in Saturnia always offer a nice bath.<\/p>\n

The establishment of Terme di Saturnia – legend vs science<\/h2>\n

Legend says that the spring flows in the place where the lightning casted by Jupiter hit during the encounter with Saturn. Geologists, on the other hand, argue that rainwater gets through the rock crevices around the extinct volcano of Monte Amiata, then is heated underground and saturated with mineral compounds so it flows to the surface after about 30 km (exactly where the swimming pool of a luxury hotel Terme\u00a0 di Saturnia SPA & Golf Resort is located ). Then, after about 1000 m, near the old Tuscan mill, it accumulates as Cascate del Mulino. The water is heated to a temperature of 37.5 \u00b0C flowing down first forms a waterfall, and then poured over travertine pits in the amount of about 800 liters \/ second to create spectacular thermal pools called Cascate del Gorello, and finally downstream to connect with the Albegna River.<\/p>\n

Valuable properties of Saturnia source were known and used by the ancient Romans and Etruscans. Etruscans are considered as the founders of the nearby town of Saturnia, not very interesting in terms of tourism. If you aren’t hungry and don’t look for a gastronomic place, I recommend spending more time soaking in a hot spring. To take advantage of this blessing you have to go to the Municipality of Manciano in the Province of Grosseto (130 km south of Siena) and from there head north on the SP10 through Montemerano. About 3.5 km after leaving Montemerano, you will see a creek sheltered from the road by wooden barriers with benches. This is a must have for a few minute stopovers because from there you can see the old mill and the whole cascade, there was also shot a photo that you saw at the beginning of the article.<\/p>\n
