Staraya Russa Resort — official website
The Staraya Russa resort is located 100 kilometers from Veliky Novgorod. This oldest medical resort was known to Russian aristocrats back in the 19th century under the name "Old Russian Shahteral Waters".
The resort has been operating since 1828 and remembers famous Russian artists, nobles and representatives of the royal family. In those days, people were sent to the waters to be treated for melancholy and sadness, anemia, nervous tension and other diseases. The leisurely promenade along the paths of Staraya Russa and the daily use of the healthiest mineral waters put gentle young ladies, brave hussars, and children weak from birth on their feet.
In Soviet times, the resort continued to operate, moreover, the medical base was improved and new treatment methods were introduced. Nowadays, the Staraya Russa resort combines a well-developed infrastructure and historical cultural traditions of the past centuries.
