Kislovodsk, a resort of federal importance, has unique natural therapeutic resources — a salubrious climate, mineral springs, picturesque landscape, as well as diverse flora and fauna. Kislovodsk Sanatory Health Resort Park is the largest man-made site in the European part of Russia. The park comprises unique architectural, historical and cultural monuments, more than 250 species of local and exotic trees and bushes, as well as the famous Narzan mineral spring.
In 2015, the Kislovodsk Sanatory Health Resort Park complex was listed as a Cultural Heritage Object of Federal Importance.
