The well-known spa of Augusta (Hissarya’s ancient name) is situted in the southern slopes of the Sredna Gora Mountains, close to the famous Valley of Roses. Hissarya today is a modern spa resort whose greatest asset consists in 22 natural and prospected hydromineral sources, with a total exploitation flow of about 2,800 l/min.

Hissarya’s mineral waters are characterized as slightly mineralized, hydrocarbonic-sulphate-sodium, with a high alkaline reaction (pH 8.3 to 9.02). Their temperature ranges between 27 °C and 51°C and they vary in radioactivity, fluorine and metasilicic acid content.
