One time in a time, everybody wants to lie back and rest. Simply to sleep and get a rest in sweet restfulness. Have a massage, take pleasure in one's time. The West Bohemian Spa Triangle is a just right location for the rebirth of your soul & body.

The long-subsided volcanic activity on the border of the Slavkov Forest was accompanied by the genesis of mineral springs that have made the region of West Bohemia well-known all-around the earth. Though Karlovy Vary (Carlsbad) , established by the recognized Czech ruler Charles 4, is the most distinguished spa city in the region, there are some other no less brilliant spa towns in the territory that are exceptionally popular with both visitors with some health problems and travelers. Though the positive effects of the regional springs had evidently become known in as early as the tenth century, spas did not in fact develop until much later on, in the nineteenth century. At the same time, Franzienbad was designed at the very end of the 18th century, followed by the formation of Marianske Lazne, thus completing the "Spa Triangle". Local and foreign visitors alike have been coming to get pleasure from the indigenous mineral springs for hundreds of years; the visitors' book of the spa resorts contain the names of royals such as the English ruler Edward VII, Napoleon III, famous composers such as Fryderyk Chopin and Richard Wagner, writers such as Johann W. Goethe, Mark Twain and Franz Kafka, or for example the well-regarded Moravian-born originator of psychoanalysis Sigmund Freud. However there is more. You can too benefit from the rich cultural program, set off for biking, rock climbing and seeing the sights trips, play tennis and golf, ride a horse, discover water sports in summer and cross-country skiing during winter.

Its grand roads & colonnades are surrounded by calm forested hills crisscrossed with mountain climbing & biking paths that are ideal for lovely walks all year round.
A tiring cultural events calendar, many festivals and international conferences put up Carlsbad the main & liveliest spa town in the Czech Republic visited not only by the spa-guests but also celebrities. Carlsbad achieved its fame also thanks to its well-known herbal liqueur named Becherovka (nicknamed "The 13th Spring"), Mattoni mineral water, unique spa wafers, and Moser crystal glass.
The healing waters from the springs in the valley of the Tepla River have been used by people from time immemorial - both for drinking as well as bathing.
