The Drinking Spring near Napoleon's Baths (Pitný prameň pri Napoleónskych kúpeľoch) is a historic mineral spring in the border region between Hungary and Slovakia, associated with the famous Rajecké Teplice-Piešťany spa tradition of the Carpathian Basin. The bicarbonate-rich water has been consumed as a traditional drinking custom within the Central European kúrort (spa) tradition, where drinking mineral water alongside bathing was considered essential to the full thermal experience. The spring's connection to the Napoleonic Wars era — when the spas of this Carpathian border region served recovering soldiers — gives it a distinctive historical resonance within the broader Central European thermal heritage.

Insider tip — This drinking spring near the historic Napoleon Spa complex in Piestany is part of one of Central Europe's most celebrated thermal resort towns on the Vah River. The bicarbonate-rich mineral water has been used for centuries to treat rheumatic and musculoskeletal conditions. The grand Belle Epoque spa buildings nearby give the setting an elegant historic character. Piestany's season peaks in summer when the island spa district fills with patients and wellness tourists from across the continent.
