KARLOVY VARY SPA
There are only a few places on Earth and far in between so picturesque and beautiful such as Karlovy Vary. The town is spread at the north edge of Slavkovský les (Slavkov Forest) 375 to 644 meters above the seal level. Since the old times, the nature there gives the people health from mineral hot springs in the form of the natural ion liquid providing the body with strength and rejuvenating the tired organism. The fundamental importance for modernization of the Karlovy Vary balneology was the life-long engagement by Dr. David Becher (1725 – 1792). He actually was the first person which performed the scientific chemical analysis of Karlovy Vary waters. He contributed to the fact that in 1764 the hot-spring salt was produced and then exported in big volumes. He enforced realization of the advanced curing methods applied until these days under a new-age name of “Comprehensive Spa Cure”. Dr. Becher upon his chemical analysis of the local water promoted its drinking directly at hot-springs and a lot of movement in the form of walks during the curing period. Such principles resulted in building gazebos and colonnades above the hot springs, colonnade routes and specialized spa facilities and a change in the entire style of the spa life. The most famous Czech spa Karlovy Vary nowadays as well as in the past is the favored meeting spot for people from all over the globe which contributes to continuation in the tradition started off hundreds of years ago under the reign of the prudent Kind Charles the Fourth. The cosmopolite nature of Karlovy Vary and reputation of its curing hot springs give a firm hope for the hot-spring town to remain in the 21st century, next to Prague, the most recognized and visited spot in the Czech Republic.
