Biragzang thermal sources

It includes the functioning sanatorium "Tamisk" built on the basis of hydrogen sulfide sources, and the sanatorium "Alagir". On the territory of the ground there is the cave "Tshubi-nykhas", a place where rare species of bats hibernate.

Biragzang thermal sources are of special interest. The area of Biragzang mineral waters deposit is situated four hundred metres from the village Biragzang in Alagir district of the Republic of North Ossetia-Alania. It is thirty kilometres from the capital — the city of Vladikavkaz, on the right bank of the river Ardon, on the territory of an enormous forest-park zone at the foot of the Lesistii range. A pore 2 370 m in depth was bored in 1990-1993. The pore was not exploited. The waters of Biragzang deposit have the following indices:

• temperature — +50°C;
• mineralization — 1 g/dm3;
• self-flow out of water — 2,4 dm3/sec (C category).

The exploitation license is given out to the limited liability company "Akvadon" that is planning to build an all-year health-improvement complex on the basis of Biragzang mineral sources. The thermal characteristics of the source enable one to use its waters for buildings'heating.
