Burimi Termomineralar i Karbunarës — Albanian for 'Thermomineral Spring of Karbunara' — is a naturally warm sulphurous and mineralised spring in the Karbunara area, where geothermal activity associated with the tectonic complexity of the western Balkans brings heated, mineral-rich water to the surface. Thermomineral springs combining geothermal warmth with significant mineral content are among the most therapeutically valuable natural water resources, their combined properties offering benefits for a wide range of musculoskeletal, dermatological, and metabolic conditions. The spring represents the geothermal wealth of the Adriatic-Balkans zone, an area of extraordinary but often underappreciated mineral water richness.

Insider tip — The thermal spring of Karbunarë lies in the Myzeqe lowlands of central Albania, where geothermal waters associated with the Peri-Adriatic Depression reach the surface. This low-lying coastal plain is underlain by sedimentary basins that host warm saline and sulfurous aquifers. The spring is set amid olive groves and agricultural fields, with the distant Ceraunian Mountains providing a rugged backdrop to the southwest.
