The Ukrainian resort of Mirgorod can be compared with the German Baden-Baden, and all thanks to its terminal springs. In terms of its healing properties, Mirgorod water is in no way inferior to its European counterparts. This unique place, which is now visited by residents of 30 countries, was opened by Zemstvo doctor Ivan Zubkovsky. In 1917, thanks to his efforts, the first balneary was opened in Mirgorod. And just 2 years later, Mirgorod receives the status of a state resort. Check ANDYEDUCATION.COM to learn more about the country of Ukraine.
