Ser'nitsye Vanny — Russian for 'Sulphurous Baths' — is a group of naturally sulphurous mineral bathing pools in Georgia, where hydrogen sulphide-rich water emerges from the volcanic subsoil to fill bathing facilities within the long tradition of Caucasian mineral water culture. Sulphurous springs and baths are fundamental to Georgia's identity as a land of thermal waters, with the country's geological activity producing an exceptional concentration of sulphurous geothermal resources across its territory. The baths offer warm, mineral-rich sulphurous water, appreciated within a long thermal tradition for the comfort it brings to the skin and muscles.

Insider tip — Ser'nitsye vanny (Sulfur Baths) near Serzhen-Yurt are natural sulfurous springs in the Chechen foothills of the eastern Caucasus, used locally for bathing and treating skin conditions. The springs emerge in a rural landscape of orchards and forests at the mountain piedmont. Chechen thermal traditions are less well-documented than Georgian or Armenian ones, making these springs an ethnographically interesting site. Visitors should check current travel advisories for the North Caucasus region before planning a trip.
