SPA town Marienbad enjoys its popularity all over the world both for its medical treatment methods and valuable natural healing resources, as well as for its scenic, enchanting view. About a hundred springs have been discovered in and around the town.
SPA town Marienbad (Marianske Lazne) launched its first spa season in 1808, but quickly became a fashionable resort amongst Europe's elite.
A real gem among the neighboring neoclassical buildings is the spa colonnade built in 1889.
The regional spas specialize in treating musculoskeletal disorders, as well as diseases of the urinary tract, kidney and gynecological problems.
Natural Health-giving Resources in Marianske Lazne (Marienbad):
There are forty mineral springs rising in the area of Marianske Lazne and another 60 in the countryside around the city. The huge range in the local soils results in varied compound composition of all the sources. As a result, each one mineral spring is distinctive. There is no other place in the world where such a broad scope of mineral sources could be found.
All the resources are greatly saturated with carbon dioxide (more than one thousand milligrams per liter) therefore these mineral waters are known as acidulous water ("kyselka"). The majority of them additionally contain a substantial quantity of iron, that is noticed by the spring where a rusty-looking layer covers the surface.
