Resorts
Caucasian Mineral Waters is the largest resort region of the Russian Federation, which in terms of wealth, diversity, quantity and value of mineral waters and healing mud has no analogues in all of Eurasia. The healing power of the local mineral springs has long been known to the local population. Legends also tell about this, where truth is intricately intertwined with poetic fiction. An echo of such a legend is also contained in the name of one of the popular local mineral waters - Narzan. This word can be translated into Russian as “heroic drink”, “water of heroes”. Narzan was considered the source of power of the Narts, a tribe that once allegedly lived in the North Caucasus.
