Its radon–carbonate springs were believed to help circulatory, nervous and skin conditions. From the 1930s on, the state invested heavily in sanatoriums, bathhouses, and public infrastructure. Workers from across the Soviet Union came here on subsidised healthcare trips. Train travel formed a key part of this system. Most visitors arrived by rail, travelling from Moscow and other cities through Kutaisi and then to Tskaltubo’s small station. At its peak, the town welcomed over 100,000 visitors each year. After the collapse of the USSR in 1991, Tskaltubo’s spa industry declined and largely disappeared. Today change is slowly coming to Tskaltubo, one by one these old buildings are being renovated! #Tskaltubo #Georgia #Ruins #Soviet #Architecture Mon, 15 Jun 2026 09:52:21 GMT https://validator.w3.org/feed/docs/rss2.html PeerTube - https://videos.pair2jeux.tube https://videos.pair2jeux.tube/lazy-static/avatars/19865032-08c1-4efc-8ce2-3e194c07bb46.png https://lostpod.space/videos/watch/4c83c32d-9af6-40d0-9cbb-6ad1f2d8f089 All rights reserved, unless otherwise specified in the terms specified at https://videos.pair2jeux.tube/about and potential licenses granted by each content's rightholder.
