Jeseník Spa was the
first hydrotherapeutic spa in the world. The spa has the local folk healer
Vincenz Priessnitz to thank for its fame. He was dubbed the “water doctor” because he founded the
first hydrotherapeutic institution in the world in Jeseník back in 1822. Thanks to this, Jeseník became renowned as the “cradle of contemporary balneology”.Visitors to Jeseník are patients suffering from disorders of the
nervous system and autonomic nervous system, patients with illnesses of the
respiratory system or with
blood circulation disorders.
