For DXers and international radio enthusiasts, listener competitions are one of the most enjoyable ways to interact with overseas broadcasters. In March 2026, Radio Slovakia International (RSI) continues its fascinating quiz series “Living Water” (Živá voda). In the RSI Quiz 2026 Round 2, we have a journey through Slovakia’s remarkable spa heritage.
Following the introduction to Slovakia’s mineral spring wealth in Round 1, the second round takes listeners to one of the country’s most celebrated spa destinations: the Slovak Medical Spa in Piešťany. For DXers tuning in across the globe, this round offers not only an engaging question but also the chance to win a truly extraordinary prize.
💧 The Living Water Series Continues
The “Living Water” competition highlights the historical and therapeutic importance of Slovakia’s mineral waters and spa towns.
In the February episode, RSI explained why Slovakia is often considered a “mineral water superpower.” The country hosts hundreds of mineral and thermal springs that have supported spa traditions for centuries.
Now, Round 2 turns the spotlight on Piešťany, one of the most famous spa towns in Central Europe.
🏛️ The Legendary Spa of Piešťany
Located along the Váh River, Piešťany’s renowned spa complex sits on the charming Spa Island, surrounded by landscaped parks, elegant architecture, and therapeutic thermal springs.
For more than a century, the Slovak Medical Spa Piešťany has developed a world-class reputation in balneology and rehabilitation medicine. Its treatments combine:
- Natural sulphur-rich thermal waters
- Healing mineral mud (peloid)
- Modern rehabilitation therapies
- Physiotherapy and hydrotherapy
Patients from around the world visit Piešťany to benefit from these natural healing resources. The spa has become especially famous for treating musculoskeletal and neurological disorders, making it one of Europe’s most respected rehabilitation centers.
