Czech Republic
The Czech Republic is a
spa superpower. Nowhere else in the world will you find such a concentration of healing springs as in the West Bohemian “
Spa Triangle”, made up of the towns of
Karlovy Vary,
Mariánské Lázně and
Františkovy Lázně.
As the unique
Czech spa experience combines both therapeutic treatments that make the most of nature in addition to medicinal remedies, you’re sure to feel rejuvenated. Spas here all make the most of the local climate and natural resources for healing treatments, be it mineral waters, peat or mud.
Indeed, the Czech Republic has a long history of pioneering spa treatments. Back in 1906 the doctors at the
Jáchymov Spa took up the revolutionary scientific discoveries of Marie Skłodowská Curie and were the first in the world to start using the therapeutic effects of radon water.
Jeseník Spa on the other hand has Vincenz Priessnitz who founded the first hydropathic institution here in 1822, to thank for its fame.
The Czech spa industry has a tradition stretching back several hundred years across thirty-seven spa locations
