Marianske Lazne
Tourist information, pictures, and hotels for Marianske Lazne, Czech Republic
 The history of Marianske Lazne, while relatively young, is closely tied to the ancient development and history of the whole part of West Bohemia. The oldest clues of local settlements were left by the Serbian Slavs. At the beginning of our millennium, Bohemian tribes were already settled here to protect strategically important Cheb trails leading from Bavaria to Bohemia. It is unknown when people began to discover the healing powers of the springs in this area. It is certain, however, that the springs were utilised long before Ferdinand (by the grace of God, King of Bohemia and of Hungary). People attempted to use one of the springs (nowadays named the Ferdinand spring) for the manufacture of salt in 1528. Marianske Lazne was accorded the status of a town in 1865. This period is linked with the personality of Dr. August Herzig, the progressive, farseeing mayor of the town. Many large buildings and facilities were built under his leadership - baths and bath-houses, a town hall, hospital, a dam, power plants, sewers and street illumination.
The fame of Marianske Lazne was founded primarily by its mineral waters. All the waters are cool with a high content of carbon dioxide and almost all of them are rich in iron. The most well-known and the most used are - the Cross spring, the Ferdinand spring, the Rudolph spring, the Forrest spring, the Caroline spring, the Marie spring and the Ambrose springs. The mineral waters are for drinking cures and for dioxide baths, the up-welling carbon dioxide is used for gas baths and gas injections. Complex spa cure includes: peat wrapping and mud baths, water treatment, electric treatment, light treatment, gymnastics, massages, inhalations, flushing, diet, hygiene education and all forms of exercise.
