By: Radim Krizan

SPA Frantiskovy Lazne was established in 1793. Due to its neoclassical spa buildings and pavilions Frantiskovy Lazne preserved the exclusive atmosphere of the early twentieth century &. The town is regarded as one of the most charming spa town in the land.
The Frantiskovy Lazne district offers very moderate climate, unpolluted air and no noise city life. Various parks all-around the city with its promenades are a just right location for calming walks. All these conditions add to the healing effects of the local mineral water that each year attract numerous spa-guests.

Twenty-one springs containing mineral water rich in minerals & sulphur, peloid with iron, and natural gas are used to treat illnesses of the cardiovascular and musculoskeletal systems, gynecological problems and sterility. Local resources are also used for convalescence of sufferers after heart attacks.
The genuine treasure of Frantiskovy Lazne are 20 mineral springs (Glauber's springs) used for drinking as well as bathing. The spa is based on rich deposits of sulphurous ferric peat bog, that is suitable for baths & wraps. A natural leak of carbon dioxide is in addition regularly used for healing.

The local mineral waters are alkaline, salty & saturated with carbon dioxide. The oldest source of mineral water is the Frantisek Spring, identified already in the 14th century & accurately documented in 1793. The most significant are the Glauber's springs number I, II, III & IV. The last one wells up from the depth of 93 meters underground & has the highest content of Glauber salt in the world.

The mineral waters from the Glauber's sources are strong laxatives. On the other hand the mineral water from the Church Spring is used for healing mild digestive health problems.
