Hello! After spending a few days in Prague with family we took a two hour drive to Karlovy Vary, the second largest tourist site in the Czech Republic. Karlovy Vary attracts many wealthy Europeans who come to enjoy a variety of different spa treatments like massages, herbal treatments and alternative therapies.
Every day there is a new display of the date in fresh flowers at the Flower Bench.
The mineral waters were very salty and tasted a lot like copper!

Karlovy Vary has "healing" hot springs that cure specific ailments. Traditionally, you drink the water in a 'skalni pramen', a porcelain cup made and designed for drinking the thermal water. Before going to the fountains to have a sip there are plenty of vendors where you can pick up a cup to fit your style.

We had a great time together, and look forward to coming back soon.
Hopefully all your aches and pains were washed away by drinking from the fountains.
ReplyDeleteKarlovy Vary was one our favorite cities to explore. We did a short hike there that provided a spectacular view of the city and its beautiful buildings.
