The Khabarovsk Territory is famous not only for its harsh and at the same time bewitching beauty, but also for its unique natural sources that have a healing effect. Sanatoria of the Khabarovsk Territory, using their healing properties, perfectly help people improve their health. There are a lot of such health resorts here. Among them are the Miner located in the resort of Kundur, the Pearl of Khingan and Sanus in the valley of a picturesque river near Maly Khingan, Ussuri near Khabarovsk, Goryachiy Klyuch near Tumnin and many others.
In this article we offer information about the sanatorium of the Ministry of Health of the Khabarovsk Territory, which is called "Annensky Vody". They say that it was built near a healing spring, where once, many years ago, the girl Annushka, expelled from the village because of her sores, healed all her wounds, she became beautiful and strong. There is another legend about this unique source. She tells of a hunter named Annin. He was severely wounded by a tiger, causing serious wounds. Annin wandered through the taiga and stumbled upon a source. The hunter washed his wounds in him, and they immediately stopped bleeding, and soon healed. There is no trace left of them. Perhaps these legends are only fiction, but they confirm the fact that people have long been aware of the unique properties of the local source.
Location
The Annensky Vody health resort is located in a village called Anninsky Mineralnye Vody. It is located on Tsentralnaya Street, building No. 2. Regarding the Amur River, this is the right bank. Khabarovsk is quite far from here. The distance is 805 km. Komsomolsk-on-Amur is a little closer - 567 km. Even closer is the small town of Nikolaevsk-on-Amur, to which - only 120 km. I must say, the villages in the Khabarovsk Territory are located quite secluded, mainly at a decent distance from each other, surrounded by virgin taiga. So, from Anninsky mineral waters to the nearest Susanino - 15 km, and to the large village of Bogorodsky - 61 km.

In winter, you need to take a bus to the village of Bogorodsky (follows from Khabarovsk), where he also meets a transfer on arrival days. All year round you can get to the health resort by regular buses from Khabarovsk, Komsomolsk-on-Amur and Nikolaevsk-on-Amur.
