Abandoned Sanatoriums of Tskaltubo

Embark on an unforgettable journey through Tskaltubo — the legendary Soviet-era spa resort. Our adventure begins at the Tskaltubo Train Station, once the main link connecting this resort town to the heart of the Soviet Union — Moscow. Next, we explore Sanatorium Medea, famed for its grand columns and breathtaking central hall. From there, we head to the iconic Bathhouse No. 6, also known as Stalin's Bath, and then to Bathhouse No. 8, an abandoned public bath notable for its massive, awe-inspiring dome. We continue to Sanatorium Metallurg, where we'll wander through the once-elegant living quarters and a hauntingly beautiful abandoned theater — a place that seems to have hosted its final performance long ago. Our tour concludes at the Spring of Beauty, the only drinkable mineral spring in Tskaltubo. Here, we’ll taste the water that has drawn visitors for decades, in a resort more widely known for its therapeutic bathhouses.
