Sweet and salt have always been linked together. The taste of salty spring water and the sweet crunchy wafer became synonymous with Karlovy Vary. So accept the salty-sweet invitation for a stroll through the town which takes pride in having been included in the prestigious UNESCO List in 2021.

The town founded by Charles IV is spread out in the picturesque valley at the confluence of the Teplá and Ohře Rivers. Since time immemorial, Karlovy Vary has been a sought-after tourist venue. Families with children, seniors, groups of friends, and lovers all enjoy spending a holiday here. Let’s go right to where it all started. At Vřídlo Spring. We do not recommend bathing directly in the source of the spring. However, the legendary Karlovy Vary bath is offered as part of the procedures in some of the spa sanatoriums. The thermal water is completely unique. It contains forty-seven elements. Among them are carbon dioxide, sodium, calcium, potassium, magnesium and many other minerals. It excels in its ability to detoxify and regenerate the organism. It can thus alleviate postoperative conditions, but also assist people with mental illnesses. 

Karlovy Vary miracle water is most often used as a drinking cure. For these purposes, water is taken from 13 out of a total of 28 springs in the town. The spa doctor ideally prescribes a drinking treatment tailored to each individual. Water should be sipped from typical porcelain cups, preferably while strolling through the Colonnade. It is recommended to drink the contents of a 200 ml cup within 10 minutes. During the three-week course of treatment, you can drink up to 1 litre of this healing water per day. It contains about 6.5 g of minerals. If we convert this amount into half-gram tablets the size of a common pain reliever, you will be ingesting a total of 280 tablets full of beneficial minerals. 

The quality of the spring water is checked daily by the employees of the Administration of Natural Medicinal Sources and Colonnades. At 10 boreholes, they use instruments to record precise flow rates and water temperature every 6 seconds. The bacteriological nature of the springs is also checked and its chemical-physical sampling is carried out. 

Finally, sweeten Karlovy Vary water with a typical local speciality – a sweet spa wafer. This crunchy delicacy has been baked in Karlovy Vary since 1788. It is prepared in several flavours. But it should always be light and warm. You can please your palate with one more titbit – liquid again. Becherovka herbal liqueur. During a visit to the Becherovka Museum, you will be introduced to the production of this alcoholic drink, but they will not reveal its recipe, which has been kept secret for centuries.
