The approach is by a few steps leading to a low stone bench, which runs round the basin.

The water is obtained from the neighbouring spring, but is of so high a temperature that it is impossible to bathe without previously cooling it.

The bath stands in the open air, and no traces are left of the building which once covered it.

It is now used for clothes and sheep's wool.
I had now seen all the interesting springs on this side of the valley.
Some columns of vapour, which may be observed from the opposite end of the valley, proceed from thermal springs, that offer no remarkable feature save their heat.
On our return the priest took me to the churchyard, which lay at some distance from his dwelling, and showed me the principal graves.

Though I thought the sight very impressive, it was not calculated to invigorate me, when I considered that I must pass the approaching night alone in the church, amidst these resting-places of the departed.
The mound above each grave is very high, and the greater part of them are surmounted by a kind of wooden coffin, which at first sight conveys the impression that the dead person is above ground.
