"Mineral Springs" Top 5 Page for this destination Marianske Lazne Things to Do Tip by King_Golo

Marianske Lazne is, however, more famous for its mineral springs than for its architecture. As early as in the 16th century monks from a nearby monastery discovered the healing effects of the springs. 300 years later, what now is Marianske Lazne was founded and soon became a flourishing spa. In 1929, 41000 visitors came to Marianske Lazne during the season! Later, it became a spa for socialist workers of Czechoslovakia. Right now, most of the guests seem German - and literally everybody speaks German!
Well, back to the springs: There are several of them, each against a specific disease. You can for instance try the waters of Ambrosius spring which are part of a drinking therapy, or those of Ferdinand spring which have an abstergent effect.
Unfortunately, I don't remember what Rudolf spring (see picture) is useful for. Just try it yourself... but don't blame me for side effects! ;)
