Spa[edit]
Therapeutic elements include a climate with very clean air, natural carbon dioxide and mineral water, which is used for carbonic baths and peat wraps, inhalation and drinking.[6] Today the spa is owned by the state.[citation needed] It specializes in the treatment of dusty lung diseases and non-tuberculous respiratory diseases.[3]
The spa consists of a complex of timbered buildings and a spa park with a geological exposition of rocks and an artificial waterfall.[6] The most notable building is the wooden Drinking Pavilion (Pitný pavilon) from 1895, where the Wilhelm Spring is located.[7] The waterfall was built in the 19th century and has a height of 20 metres (66 ft).[2]
