Wellness and ancient pines of Cervia

Salt, ancient natural remedy in the shade of century-old pines

From Piazza Garibaldi, continuing northwards, passed the bridge over the canal harbour, we are on Via G. di Vittorio; having gone beyond the roundabout of Via Malva Nord we travel the path along the railway immersed between century-old pines as far as the thermal baths.

RELAX IN THE PINEWOOD

In Cervia it is possible to carve out moments of relaxation thanks to the large green area of the Pinewood which stretches from Cervia to Milano Marittima. Here you can venture along 32 paths, train in the open-air gym, or canoeing the canals that connect the sea with the Salt pan. Just outside the Pinewood one can play golf, tennis, do archery and beach sports. The fitness trail of the Pinewood of Milano Marittima, which is approximately 2 kilometres long, is always available to sports and wellness lovers, and is accessible from Via Ravenna, Stadio dei Pini, in Milano Marittima. The Pinewood is home to the Thermal baths of Cervia, the ideal place to relax and enjoy physical and mental wellbeing.

CERVIA TERMAL BATHS

Open from May to November, the Thermal baths of Cervia are one of the most modern in Italy. The heart of the facility is the large swimming pool supplied with unique and precious “mother” water that comes from the Salt pan. The thermal mud is also a product of the Salt pan, and chemical-biological studies have shown that it is a rare example of “liman” or lagoon mud, formed by the slow sedimentation of the mineral salts and organic substances of sea water at the bottom of the collection basins of the salt pan. The salt workers were the first to realize the extraordinary properties of the black mud, which soothed injuries and pain. It was the early 20th century and in 1930 those empirical curative therapies gave way to the construction of a small open-air thermal bath. The expansion which led to the Thermal baths of Cervia started in the 1950s and it has become one of the best equipped facilities in Northern Italy.
