The access to mineral fountains is usually free of charge. Outdoor cold springs are turned off in winter time, while indoor fountains are accessible all year round. Walking to outdoor drinking pavilions twice or three times daily is a good, pleasant and easy exercise to complement your spa treatment. Our Health Spa Resort at Marienbad was built in the early 1800 ́s around the healing effects of its plentiful and varied medicinal mineral springs, world famous for their curative effects on urinary tract conditions (namely stones) and metabolic dysbalance (especially digestive dysfunctions). Even in the 21st century, drinking medicinal mineral water may be an important part of your spa stay depending on your health condition. However, improper or excessive consumption of certain medicinal mineral waters may lead to various unwanted effects like diarrhea, belching, bloatedness, swelling of legs, eyelids, or increased blood pressure. Because of this, combined with the importance of embarking upon the correct drinking regime, your spa doctor will advise you on which spring can best benefit your health condition.
