Bazine Termale Polonezii — 'The Poles' Thermal Pools' — is a sulphurous thermal bathing site in Romania whose name preserves the memory of a Polish community or settler associated with the site's development in the complex demographic history of Transylvania and the Carpathian region. The warm sulphurous mineral waters have long been used for therapeutic bathing in the traditions of Central European spa culture. The pools represent a living connection to the multicultural heritage of Romania's thermal spring landscape, where communities of diverse origins have long shared the bounty of geothermal waters.

Insider tip — Bazine Termale Polonezii is a set of informal thermal basins used by the small community descended from Polish settlers who came to this remote Danube gorge region in the 19th century. The sulfurous spring feeds shallow stone-ringed pools that locals have maintained for generations. The cultural backstory is as compelling as the bathing itself, with Polish-Romanian folk traditions still visible in the village. Access is via a scenic unpaved road along the gorge cliffs.
