Soothing — neither hot nor cold, perfect balance.
Rich in active gases or metals — a strong mineral character.
Soft water — natural, classic buoyancy.
Mariánské Lázně (Marienbad) in the Karlovy Vary Region of western Bohemia, Czech Republic, is one of the great European spa cities, whose bicarbonate, magnesium, and ferruginous springs were developed into one of the nineteenth century's most fashionable international destinations, attracting Goethe, Chopin, Wagner, Mark Twain, and numerous European monarchs. The town's forty-plus mineral springs each have distinct mineral compositions, dispensed from elegant neo-baroque and neo-classical colonnades in a carefully planned spa landscape of exceptional architectural and horticultural quality. Mariánské Lázně, together with Karlovy Vary and Františkovy Lázně, forms the core of the Great Spa Towns of Europe UNESCO World Heritage Site, recognised for its exceptional contribution to nineteenth-century spa culture and the development of modern balneological traditions.
