Karlovy Vary (Carlsbad) is a renowned spa town situated in the western region of Bohemia, Czech Republic. It is also referred to as Carlsbad, in reference to its German name, Karlsbad. This esteemed spa resort has been a popular destination for numerous celebrities worldwide. Additionally, it hosts the prestigious Karlovy Vary International Film Festival annually. Karlovy Vary has been a favored resort destination since the 19th century, primarily due to its abundance of thermal springs. The town's riverside spa district features several colonnades with columned walkways. The modern Hot Spring Colonnade showcases the Pramen Vřídlo geyser, which erupts up to 12 meters high. Karlovy Vary's reputation as a leading spa town is well-deserved. The thermal springs are believed to possess therapeutic properties, rendering it an ideal destination for relaxation and wellness. Visitors can experience the rejuvenating effects of the healing waters at various spa facilities.
Karlovy Vary thermal mineral water is best enjoyed from traditional porcelain or glass cups. For optimal results, it is recommended to avoid alcohol consumption and tobacco use during the course of this drinking cure.
I had a delightful experience strolling through the town and had the opportunity to drink some spring water from a spa cup purchased from local stores. It is a unique, specially designed porcelain cup, featuring a spout that originates from the lower part of the body, giving the vessel a distinctive appearance that combines elements of both a cup and a teapot. These cups are traditionally used to drink mineral or thermal water directly from the spring. Typically, individuals place the spout to their mouths and drink from it. The spring water is warm or hot and has a distinct, slightly rusty iron taste.
