Termálne kúpalisko Vincov les

Termálne kúpalisko Vincov les lies in western Slovakia beside the town of Sládkovičovo, a wooded site of seven hectares given over to summer bathing. Its water comes from a single geothermal borehole 1,990 metres deep, which the operator describes as medium-mineralised, slightly alkaline, of the bicarbonate-sodium type and with a raised fluoride content, according to a sample analysed in 2021. The bath is emphatically a lido rather than a spa: it works through the warm months, and the whole complex is built around open water, lawns and shade rather than treatment rooms.

The operator counts six outdoor basins fed with thermal water, plus two indoor pools added in summer so that a wet day does not end a visit. The largest tank is a 50-metre swimming pool for lengths. Around it sit relaxation pools at different temperatures, several fitted with massage jets aimed at the neck, shoulders and back, and the seated section of the hot quiet pool has a pearl (air-bubble) bath. Two open-air water slides serve children and teenagers. The operator shows the current water temperature of each pool on its website.

Beyond the water the site runs camping inside the grounds, a chalet settlement next door and, since the 2024 season, rooms in a building directly beside the pools. Food and drink are sold from kiosks and the VincoBar. In the summer season the bath opens Monday from 11:00 to 20:00 and Tuesday to Sunday from 09:00 to 20:00; tickets are sold at the gate and through the operator's own e-shop.
