Pavel Banya (Stara Zagora district) is a town located in the Kazanluk valley to the east of the illustrious Valley of the Roses and on the banks of the Tundzha River. The northern slopes of the Surnena Sredna Gora start to the south of it. The town is 185 km from Sofia, 22 km to the west of Kazanluk, 24 km from Kalofer, 54 km south from Gabrovo, 86 km to the north of the city of Plovdiv and only 4 km from the main Sofia-Karlovo- Bourgas motorway. It is a spa resort of national and international importance. There are 9 hydrothermal sources. Seven of them have similar characteristics (temperature of 50-61 degrees C) with a low mineral content. The climate of Pavel Banya is transitional continental with a moderate warm summer and a snowless winter. This creates conditions for all-year hydrotherapy work, combined with climate treatment. The resort has established itself as a remedial and rehabilitation centre for treating diseases of the motor system, orthopaedical ones, traumas and disorders of the central and peripheral nervous system. The remains of an ancient village prove that the town of Pavel Bania was used for hydrotherapy in ancient times.
