KARLOVY VARY SPA
Carlsbad - the best known Czech spa
The best known and the largest spa in the Czech republic dates back to around 1350. The Roman Emperor and Czech King Charles IV raised its status to a town in 1370. The end of the 19th century defined the architecture of Carlsbad. Thje city's best-known sights are the Church of St. Andrew, the orthodox Church of Sts. Peter and Paul, the Municipal Theatre, the Mill Colonnade (Mlýnská kolonáda) and the Cathedral of St. Mary Magdalene. Carlsbad is surrounded by romantic hilly countryside – the foothills of Krušné hory. Treatment
The fame of Karlovy Vary has spread into the whole world thanks to its mineral springs. There are 12 healing springs in the spa. Their basic compositions are similar but they differ in temperature and the amount of carbon dioxide, and that is why their effects are different as well. The colder springs usually have a slightly purgative effect, while the warmer ones make the production of bile and stomach juices slower. The strongest is the Vřídlo spring, rising from the depth of 2,000-3,000 metres. The temperature reaches 73° C. The temperature of the other springs is around 40° C. The springs cure mainly metabolic disorders; they are also used for inhalations and baths. Spa Treatment Indication
Thanks to the specific properties of the Karlovy Vary mineral springs and their virtually all-purpose use, Karlovy Vary welcomes patients with various kinds of disorders, most often of which are:
The range of therapeutic procedures differs, to a certain degree, from sanatorium to sanatorium, always depending on the specialization and equipment of a specific facility. Colonnades and Springs
Thermal springs made Karlovy Vary famous around the whole world. Of 79 mineral springs with varying yields, 13 are controlled and used for drinking cure. The basic composition of various kinds of mineral water is quite similar; however, the different temperatures and contents of carbon dioxide provide different effects. The colder springs have slightly laxative effects, whereas the warmer ones have suppressing effects and inhibit the secretion of bile and gastric juices. Spa treatment and wellness
The Karlovy Vary spa is the largest resort of its kind in the Czech Republic. It mainly provides the treatment of the digestive tract, the motor system and metabolic disorders. The city offers a large number of spa facilities where you can seek a comprehensive package of spa procedures as well as a broad variety of wellness programs. The local curative springs find all-purpose applications. Spa procedures and their historyDavid Becher, Jean de Carro, and other notable physicians were very instrumental in introducing a balanced spa therapy. The treatment involves pleasant walks on colonnades and spa forest paths, drinking mineral springs right at their sourced wells, a special diet, and naturally a broad range of appropriate procedures. Listed below are individual procedures. Moreover, you will learn something about the development of the Karlovy Vary treatment and about the ancient, sometimes rather drastic methods of treatment. Spa treatmentThe therapeutic transport provided in Karlovy Vary consists of specials procedures formulated mainly on the use of mineral springs. To bring about desired effects, spa treatment must take at least three weeks. After arriving at a spa facility, a client consults one of the spa physicians who perform an initial medical examination and prescribe the most appropriate treatment procedures. The daily schedule of massages, curative baths and drinking cure has to be strictly observed. The effects of the treatment will soon set in. Clients come to Karlovy Vary to seek:
Outpatient treatmentThis type of treatment requires that a client (patient) undergoes therapeutic procedure (baths, massages, etc.) as prescribed by their physician who can suggest outpatient treatment after injuries, surgical procedures or in case of chronic problems. Prescribed outpatient treatment is usually fully paid by a health care insurance. The number of prescribed procedures is about 10 sessions and the client comes to receive them at a spa facility from their place of stay. Comprehensive spa treatmentThis treatment is usually recommended by a physician - specialist who sends a medical report along with an application for comprehensive spa treatment to the client’s insurance company. The insurance company (or rather its panel doctor) sends the approved application to one of Karlovy Vary’s spa sanatoriums. If the respective sanatorium has available accommodation capacity, it notifies the client no later than 5 days prior to a designated treatment beginning date. Simultaneously, the client receives treatment-related information. If the addressed sanatorium is fully occupied, it forwards the client’s application to two alternative sanatoriums. The client must start their spa treatment within one to three months from filing their application - depending on the urgency of their physical condition. The client’s insurance company pays the costs of treatment, accommodation and catering at a standard level. Co-pay treatmentCo-pay treatment is proposed by an attending physician who sends a medical report along with an application for comprehensive spa treatment to the client’s insurance company. If the application is approved by a panel doctor, the insurance company mails back to the client who himself chooses and contacts a spa facility to arrange for the commencement date of their spa treatment and other particulars. The client must present themselves to commence treatment within six months from the issuance of the treatment application. The insurance company pays only the standard spa procedures lasting 21 or 28 day while the client bears the costs of accommodation and catering. WellnessWellness therapy is actually very similar to spa treatment. The main difference is in the fact it is not prescribed by a physician. Every client chooses wellness programs to suit their specific needs and wishes. They can go for a two-day beauty program or a one-week comprehensive package. The combination of procedures and the time spent in a spa sanatorium is only up to the client’s choice. „Relax and be beautiful!“Enjoy sauna, whirlpool, steam baths... The hands of our professionals will bring you relaxation massages and baths and warming wraps. Ladies can enjoy special „beauty programs“, including facial masks, peeling or anti-cellulite treatment. Wellness, however, is not designed only for women. Men can also come into their own. Choose the right thing of the multitude of programs available.
List of spa and wellness procedures„Let your worries drift away“
The first baths were actually taken by Emperor Charles Karel IV immediately after the first spring had been discovered. Ever since the spring water of Karlovy Vary has been used exclusively for this purpose. A typical medieval bath involved up to ten hours of soaking all the body or its part. The main reason was to make the skin chap so that „harmful substances“ could be washed out from the body. These drastic methods remained in place until the 16th century. In the 21st century, you are likely to come across a half-hour bath. Every bathing procedure exploits only the Thermal Spring water (72°C) that is cooled to about 40°C for the purpose of baths. The other springs are used for drinking cure.
„Becher’s drinking cure“
Mineral water began to be taken internally as late as the 16th century. This type of use is mainly attributed to the physician V. Payer who first described this method in his book dealing with the Karlovy Vary treatment. In the course of time, the drinking cure sometimes went to extremes. The daily recommended amount of water springs was even more than five liters. These alarming approaches were put to the end by the physician David Becher who was very instrumental in formulating well-balanced spa procedures. Since Dr. Becher’s time, the spa guests have drunk no more than 1 liter of mineral water a day. Drinking cure is based on 12 springs. The so-called 13th spring - the Becher liqueur - should always be taken with moderation.
„H2O - what a powerful molecule’“
The other procedures offered in Karlovy Vary make use of the pressure and temperature of water in its liquid and gaseous state.
„Relax please“Massages are an integral balneological method. They aptly complement the treatment of the motor system and of the lymphatic system. Their also have positive effects on the nervous system. They promote overall body relaxation.
„Get charged“This spa therapy exploits the beneficial effects of electric power on the human body. Electrodes send electric current to the body in short impulses. There is nothing unpleasant about this method; its effects are relaxing and mainly curative.
God said: „Let there be light!“You may feel somewhat skepticalwhen a physician subscribes light therapy for you. Such feelings, however, are misguided. This therapy uses light, its varying wavelengths or spectrum parts.
„Warm your joints“Pleasant warming of various body parts has positive effects on the motor system.
„Weightlessness improves your health“Spa sanatoriums provide modern as well as time-tested treatment methods. Some of them are derived from recent medical studies and observations. A therapeutic factor can be provided by a specific movement, oxygen, special additives or by temperatures falling far below the freezing point or by administering mineral water through a body orifice other than the mouth.
Notable places
The tradition of Czech spas is an inseparable part of the European cultural heritage. Due to the high quality of their curative resources, they have won fame and recognition in Europe and found their place in the history of medicine and balneology. However, Czech spas do not only mean health cures, but also recreation, rest, and a refuge from everyday stress. All of this is combined with a pleasant environment, rich cultural life, sports and entertainment.

VIP-visitors, Dates, History
The foundation and development of Carlsbad has always been inseparably connected with the soothing curative effect of its warm mineral springs. They marked the history, architecture, economy and the whole spirit of the city. The springs have fascinated people and have stimulated them since the oldest times. A story of the fantasy world is the popular story according to which Carlsbad springs were discovered by Charles IV, the Czech king and Roman Emperor, at a deer hunting in the middle of the 14th century. The foundation of the spa city at the confluence of the Ohře and Teplá Rivers in the reign of Charles IV is sure not to be such an accidental and romantic act as said in the old story, but almost a regular development result for a long-known place with a curative tradition.

HOTEL VILLA CHARLOTTE****
HOTEL ZÁMECKE LAZNE
The Zámecké lázně (Castle Spa) is located in the heart of the Carlsbad spa zone, in the vicinity of the Market and the Hot Spring Colonnade. Zámecké lázně (the Castle Bath) is one of the most beautiful spa centres in Europe and to its guests, it provides a wide range of curative and relaxation programmes.
The first project of a balneologic facility designed in the style of architectonic modernism was effected in Karlovy Vary on the threshold of World War I, i.e. at the peak of bloom of the development and the “Golden Age” of the town. The building of a unique complex of the Castle Colonnades commenced in the very heart of the spa zone, where the most precious Carlsbad springs rise from the ground. One of the fundamental ideas of the new structure was to connect the colonnade leading around the Upper Castle Spring with the Market Colonnade, and thereby, to build a worthy abode for the ruler of all Carlsbad springs, which has been safeguarding all the natural curative resources for next generations at this site from of old.
In 1909, architect B. Ohmann was successful in an large-scale competition and the Castle Colonnade was built in the course of years 1911 - 1913 according to his project. It was preserved unchanged until the beginning of a radical reconstruction and conversion into the Castle Spa in 2000. In this case as well, B. Ohmann proved his mastery in applying a ingenious combination of various architectonic styles, when leaving a charming roundel in the upper part of the structure inspired by antique architecture. As a symbol of balneology, this roundel remains as one of the beautiful and characteristic features of traditional craftsman ship in Karlovy Vary to the present day.
While preserving all the essential architectonic elements, a radical reconstruction of all the premises of the Castle Colonnade was executed in 2000 and 2001, generously converting the structure into a comprehensive curative facility called the Castle Spa. The fundamental credo of the Castle Spa is returning to traditional Carlsbad spa treatment. Providing comfort, atmosphere, and individual care – all that the visitors of the spa in Karlovy Vary had been used to in the era of the “Golden Age”. Everyone can find this (as well as something extra) in a more than abundant extent in Karlovy Vary, especially owing to the Castle Spa.
The features that distinguish Castle Spa from any other similar facility particularly are:
- Return to the well-established tradition of Carlsbad spa treatment in a central balneologic facility Carlsbad, as it truly is the only place, where clients are provided with comprehensive care, including the maximum exploitation of the original Carlsbad curative thermal mineral water
- The Castle Spa uses its own two springs – the Upper and Lower Castle Spring
- The most precious gem of the Castle Spa is its pool with thermal mineral water, the only one of its kind in the Czech Republic
- Individual client approach
- State-of-the art technology for treatment
- An absolutely matchless ambience achieved owing to the combination of extensive natural rocky surfaces and architectonic modernism of the early 20th century
- Relaxation in the curative pool is available to every visitor as an extra procedure free of charge
- Every client completes his or her daily dose of prescribed procedures during a single two-hour session
- The Spirit of the Springs oversees provided treatment
- And one more additional surprise...
