Tourist information, pictures, and hotels for Carlsbad, Czech Republic
 Carlsbad is the largest and best-known bath resort in the Czech Republic. The town is located not far from the Czech-German border on the international road E48, 60 km from border town Schirnding. The distance between Carlsbad and Prague, the Czech capital, is 125 km. Carlsbad can be reached via train through border crossing Schirnding - Cheb or through Johanngeorgenstadt.
Carlsbad has made a name for itself as a spa. Later however with its specialities and sights typical for this city and its surroundings as well. Speaking of specialities, we mean in particular certain products to be used. In particular Moser glass, named after the founder of the famous glass factory and known as "Glass of Kings" all around the world, ranks among these traditional specialities; this glass used to become a decoration and pride for rulers and other celebrities in many countries all around the world. It is a synonym for a top craft and artistic level. Bitter-sweet bitters Karlovarská becherovka (38 % of alcohol, 10 % of sugar), known as "the thirteenth spring", is one of the traditional and without doubt the most original speciality of Carlsbad. On both banks of the river Teplá, the footpaths of the spa woods wind their way amongst beech-covered hillsides, spruce shade and sunny clearings. You could spend weeks or even months walking here from viewing point to viewing point, from pub to pub, amongst summers houses, crosses, stone benches, obelisks, shrines, moss, stones and the pitchy smell of the forest. For as long as people can remember special drinking cups have been used to drink Karlovy Vary water. These were and remain the property of each spa guest. The drinking cups are kept as historical proof documenting the evolution of the spa treatment. | |
