This is the spring itself, as close as you can get: the water comes up 970 metres and arrives in the round pool at 38 °C, smelling faintly of sulphur, rich in calcium and magnesium.
The vault above is covered in gold glass mosaic, set by hand in 1913. With the steam rising it glows like the inside of a lantern.
Stay ten to fifteen minutes, then go next door to the cold plunge. That is the whole secret of the baths.
