About this postcard

Three white swans swim on the pond at Baračka in the spa park at Trenčianske Teplice. A small weir or spillway sends water falling at one side, and large shade trees line the far bank, where a few people sit on benches and playground equipment stands in the distance. The caption identifies the grounds as the state spa, Št. kúpele Trenčianske Teplice, a long-established thermal resort in western Slovakia. The swan lake formed part of the spa park's ornamental grounds.
