Zibucani is a historic town in Argesh County, Romania, situated in the southern foothills of the Carpathian Mountains, about 120 kilometers from the capital Bucharest. It is famous for its rich thermal resources and healing resorts, with several natural hot spring baths, where the water temperature is maintained at 28-40 degrees Celsius all year round and is rich in minerals, which are effective for rheumatism and skin diseases.
