WarmbathsOn the national road north towards Zimbabwe is the flat area
known as the Springbok Flats, part of the Great Rift Valley. About
80 miles (125km) north of Johannesburg on the edge of the Flats
lies the town of Warmbaths, named for the hot mineral springs that
rise to the surface there. The spring yields about 20,000 litres of
water, enriched with sodium chloride, calcium carbonate and other
minerals every hour. The town has now become a popular spa and
holiday resort, considered to be one of the most modern of its kind
in the world. It has a large indoor pool with underwater jets,
outdoor hot and cold swimming pools, wave pools, and water
slides. |
