Číž is situated in the Gemer region of southern Slovakia, very close to the Hungarian border. Its medicinal reputation began in 1862 when a local resident discovered salty iodine-bromine water while digging a well. These springs are among the rarest of their kind in Europe and are highly effective for treating vascular diseases and metabolic disorders. The heart of the village is the extensive spa park, filled with ancient trees and tranquil walking paths. The spa combines historical charm with modern medical facilities and an outdoor swimming pool complex. The local climate is pleasantly mild and sunny, conducive to outdoor recovery. Nearby attractions include the UNESCO-listed caves of the Slovak Karst. The town is accessible via Rimavská Sobota or Tornaľa.
