Sources thermales d'Yengija, located in Azerbaijan's Samukh district in the Kura-Araz lowlands, are chloride-rich springs that emerge in a flat agricultural landscape characteristic of the western Azerbaijani plains. The warm saline waters have been used locally for bathing and veterinary purposes, reflecting the practical integration of thermal resources into rural Azerbaijani life. Yengija's springs represent the lesser-known geothermal heritage of Azerbaijan's interior plains, where mineral springs punctuate a landscape defined by vineyards, pomegranate groves, and ancient Caucasian trade routes.

Insider tip — Nestled in the foothills of the Greater Caucasus in Gabala district, these chloride-sodium springs surface near lush deciduous forests at moderate elevation. The brackish waters carry a distinct salinity that visitors find invigorating on cool mountain evenings. The surrounding Gabala region is well-developed for eco-tourism, making it easy to combine a soak with a visit to the nearby Nohur Lake. Water temperature hovers around 39°C, ideal for a long, relaxing soak.
