Feel you could use a little health boost and relaxation? Sometimes
your ancestors felt the same way, and we're here to help: we've just posted an 1862 map of medical spas in Galicia and Bukovina on the Gesher Galicia Map Room: http://maps.geshergalicia.org/special/galicia-medical-spas-1862/ With well over a hundred spa locations categorized eight ways based on plants, salts and other minerals, oils, and hot springs, there's plenty to choose from. A good first choice would be Iwonicz-Zdroj, one of the oldest spas in the region and secluded in the Beskid Niski hills; Virtual Shtetl calls it "the favorite Jewish spa": http://bit.ly/29AYhOY Gesher Galicia purchased this interesting map at auction, then digitized and assembled it for you >from membership dues and general fund donations. Many of you had family who went to one or more of these spas for holidays or treatment; now you can learn more about them!
