Laesitane waters, Bultei
In the countryside of Bultei (SS) there are free hot water spas in the open field. They are called Anzu’e Sos Nervios, the bath for muscles and nerves. You bathe in the middle of winter near the banks of the Tirso river, Outside 4 degrees, in the tub made by the Romans 35-40 °.
They called them Laesitane waters.
In the surrounding land we can find the spring called “Su Anzu’e Sa Gutta" for the treatment of gout, “Su Anzu’e Sos Dentes" for the treatment of toothache and gums, “Su Anzu’e Sos Beccos" for the scalp care, “Su Anzu’e S ‘Istomogo” to treat stomach problems and “Su Anzu’e Su Ludu” for the use of muds to relieve physical pain.
The waters are very hot and flow at 34 ° C – Sulphurous waters – Salso – Bromo – lodiche.
Access is not signposted, both pools are located in private territory, but transit is tacitly permitted. To get there you have to open a rustic gate made of wood and wire.
A pool is located in the countryside in front of the country church of San Saturnino, provincial road Benetutti – Bultei, in the locality of ‘Su Anzu’, inside a sheepfold, surrounded by walls without a roof; the other, always nearby, in an open field hidden among the vegetation.
For both pools you need to know the access and it is necessary to respect nature, immersing yourself without using substances such as shower gel, oils or creams, and it is customary, if there are other people waiting, to stay in the bathroom for only 20 minutes and leave the place clean and also usable by others.
By immersing the body in a tub containing hot thermal water, you can breathe the ancestral sacredness of the rites of medicinal water.
Only those who know the right coordinates can get there, you have to be accompanied by someone who has already been there.
Less than a kilometer away is the other wonderful pool, in an open field, impossible to see from the road. Having identified the rudimentary gate to open, take a dirt road avenue up to a specific point; then you look to the right, hidden by the vegetation, here it is !!
