"Naftusya" source No. 1 is the most famous and popular among the drinking sources of the resort.

Buvet No. 1 is located in the center of the Truskavets resort.

"Naftusya" water belongs to weakly mineralized waters (mineralization, 0.7 grams per liter) and chemically belongs to the class of hydrocarbonate-sulfate-calcium-magnesium mineral waters.

As the very name "Naftusya" shows, it contains organic substances related to the Boryslav oil field: phenols, heavy acids of the saturated petroleum series, a small amount of hydrogen sulfide, and impurities of volatile sulfurous hydrocarbons. This gives the water a specific smell and taste of oil.

Water obtained directly from the source releases gas bubbles on the walls of a closed vessel during storage. When stored in an open container for several hours, the smell and taste of oil, as well as gas bubbles, disappear.

According to its physical and chemical composition and physiological effect on the body, "Naftusya" is a unique water and has no equal in any of the resorts. It has a beneficial effect and is indicated for patients suffering from kidney stone disease, uric acid diathesis, gout and other metabolic diseases. "Naftusya" also stimulates the choleretic, bile-secreting functions of the liver and the activity of many other organs.

Park avenues start from it, leading through the park on the hills, where there are 3 more healing springs, as well as the first summer pavilion for receiving water.
