Konstantinovy Lázně: Mineral Springs, Spa Park and Trails
Accommodation in Konstantinovy Lázně
Konstantinovy Lázně offers several specific ways to shape a stay: mineral water, educational trails, a cycling and inline skating path, and an open-air sculpture gallery. If you are looking for a hotel, you can first consider whether mineral springs, getting active on a trail, or history and art are the main focus of your trip. You can then tailor your interests in the area to your own priorities.
Mineral Water in the Spa Park and on the Educational Trail
The Ke studánce lásky educational trail starts and ends in Konstantinovy Lázně. Its route includes two improved mineral water outlets where visitors can taste the water. Starting and finishing in the town provides practical orientation, while the outlets make the trail’s connection to the springs tangible. If you would like to combine mineral water with a themed trail, this is one factor to consider when planning your stay.
The Prusík Spring offers another point of interest. It emerges in the spa park at the site of today’s glass drinking pavilion; visitors can taste the water at the round drinking pavilion near the Prusík Hotel. Konstantinovy Lázně’s mineral water has the highest CO₂ content in the Czech Republic. This means the tasting points on the educational trail are complemented by a spring in the spa park. These two features link the mineral water theme to different parts of a stay.
Comparing Educational Trails and the Cycling and Inline Skating Path
The Hradišťský vrch educational trail starts at the fire pond in Konstantinovy Lázně. It is a 5.5-kilometre circular route with six information panels. Its length, circular layout and panels give you specific features to consider when choosing a route. The information panels add a thematic focus to the circular route, distinguishing this trail from the others.
The Konstantinovy Lázně cycling and inline skating path is 5.3 kilometres long and runs through Konstantinovy Lázně and the immediate surrounding area. Alongside its length, its designated use for cycling and inline skating is another point of comparison. The two routes are similar in length, but differ in format: one is a circular route with six information panels, while the other is a cycling and inline skating path. When comparing them, you can therefore take into account both the distance and each route’s format and intended use.
Spa Park, Chapel and Sculpture Gallery
The present-day spa park was laid out in 1873. Around 1900, the Chapel of Our Lady of Lourdes (Panny Marie Lourdské) was built on a small hill near the spa’s main building. The two dates provide different historical points of reference: a specific year is given for the spa park, while the chapel was built around 1900. Both the park and the chapel are therefore part of the town’s history.
An open-air sculpture gallery is also part of Konstantinovy Lázně. It grew out of several sculpture symposiums. Its origins provide a distinct cultural element alongside the historical features of the spa park and chapel. Together, these offer different interests to help you choose your destination: mineral water and trails on the one hand, history and sculpture on the other.
