About this place
Bulgaria’s official tourism camping guide maps Sapareva Banya at 42.287883, 23.257804. The municipal account says the geyser-fountain first erupted during drilling in 1957 from a depth of 73 m. Its source water reaches 103°C and the natural jet is described as rising to about 18 m. The municipality describes the water as clear, colourless and lightly mineralised, with a hydrogen-sulfide odour. Treat the geyser water as scalding: do not touch the water or cross barriers around the fountain. Check the linked official sources shortly before visiting because access, opening times, tours and road conditions can change.
