Konstantinovy Lázně combines mineral water with a variety of trails and cultural and historical themes. On the Ke studánce lásky nature trail, you can sample water at two developed mineral water springs; the Prusík Spring emerges in the spa park. Other attractions include the Hradišťský vrch nature trail, a cycling and inline skating route, the Panny Marie Lourdské Chapel and an open-air sculpture gallery. When planning your visit, you can start by considering whether water, a particular type of route or cultural history will shape your stay.
Mineral Water and Springs
The Ke studánce lásky nature trail starts and ends in town. It has two developed mineral water springs where you can sample the water. This gives it a distinct profile as an excursion: the trail connects its starting and ending point in Konstantinovy Lázně with the theme of mineral water and the opportunity to taste it.
The Prusík Spring emerges in the spa park, at the site of today's glass drinking pavilion. Visitors can sample 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. The water theme therefore includes both specific tasting spots and a clearly defined feature of its composition.
Spa Park and Cultural History
The present-day spa park was laid out in 1873. Around 1900, the Panny Marie Lourdské Chapel was built on a small hill near the spa's main building. These two dates highlight different aspects of the town's history: the creation of the present-day park and the construction of a religious building. Those interested in the spa's history can therefore explore a specific architectural feature as well as the park.
The open-air sculpture gallery offers a different cultural perspective. It grew out of several sculpture symposia and complements the historic buildings with sculpture. Its origins provide a point of interest for visitors who would like to include local art alongside the history of the park and chapel.
Compare Nature Trails and the Cycling Route
The Hradišťský vrch nature trail starts at the fire pond in Konstantinovy Lázně. It is a 5.5-kilometre circular route with six information stations. The distance is not the only factor to consider when choosing a route: its circular layout and stations also give the trail a clearly defined profile.
The cycling and inline skating route is 5.3 kilometres long and runs through Konstantinovy Lázně and the immediate surrounding area. The cycling and inline skating route and the Hradišťský vrch trail are similar in length, but they offer different formats: a circular trail with six information stations on the one hand, and a route for cycling and inline skating on the other.
The Ke studánce lásky nature trail has a different focus, with two mineral water springs where you can sample the water. When comparing options for your stay, you can therefore consider not only the distance but also the theme and type of route: mineral water, a circular trail with information stations, or a cycling and inline skating route. This lets you choose according to your interests without treating the different trails as the same kind of excursion.
