Jermuk (Armenian: Ջերմուկ; also Romanized as Dzhermuk) is a town in the southern Armenian province of Vayots Dzor. It was a popular destination during the Soviet era and famous for its hot springs and brand of mineral water that is bottled in the vicinity. The town has a large waterfall with a large natural bridge nearby, a small lake, forests with walking trails, and mineral water pools. Jermuk is currently being redeveloped in the hope of becoming a center of tourism once again.
