Hot springs and treatments
The spring waters contain a mixture of 47 elements that are proven to benefit human health. Used for its effects broadly since the 16th century, the spring waters have not lost any of its qualities over time. Coming from a depth of 2,500 meters, the water branches into 81 individual springs, 15 of which are accessible to the public.
The springs differ in temperature as well as in the concentration of carbon dioxide and minerals. The main spring, located in the centre of the spa town of Karlovy Vary, is called Vřídlo (“Hot Spring”) and boasts a geyser gushing mineral water at a temperature of 72 °C up to 12 meters high in the air.
Cure
The most important parts of the treatment are hot spring baths and the drinking of mineral water. A correctly chosen drinking cure can alleviate many health problems, strengthen your immune system and heal inflammations.
The drinking cure is always tailored specifically for each client. A physician will assess your health condition, recommend the right hot springs and explain to you the principles of a drinking cure. It is not advised to try all the hot springs and drink thermal water without a medical recommendation.
Thermal water is usually drunk three time a day, always before meal. Drink 200 ml of warm thermal water within 5–10 minutes. It is a small celebration of health, during which you should not be disturbed by anything or anyone. Just take your time and enjoy the moment.
The water should be drunk near the spring, where the concentration of carbon dioxide is the highest. With a correctly chosen treatment, your body will absorb 5–7 g of minerals every day. Ideally, the drinking cure should last for three weeks.
Spa history
Legend has it that the power of the hot springs in today’s Karlovy Vary was discovered by the Czech King and Holy Roman Emperor Charles IV, when thermal water from a local spring healed his wounded leg. Therefore, he founded a town here, whose fame reached far beyond the borders of the Bohemian lands already in the 16th century.
The healing effects of the local springs brought composers such as Mozart, Beethoven, Chopin and Paganini to Carlsbad, as the town was historically known. After one of his thirteen stays here, the poet J. W. Goethe wrote to a friend: “I will return to Carlsbad in any case. I owe an entirely different existence to these hot springs.”
Sigmund Freud visited the spa town five times, contemplating his psychoanalytical theories with a cup of thermal water in his hand.
Also film stars such as Robert De Niro, Leonardo DiCaprio, Gina Lollobrigida, Antonio Banderas, Mia Farrow and Renée Zellweger, who have attended the annual Karlovy Vary International Film Festival (KVIFF), have had an opportunity to taste the local thermal water.
