One of the smallest Czech spas with beautiful surroundings
About 40 km northwest of Pilsen is the only spa in the Pilsen region – Konstantinovy Lazne. It is one of the smallest Czech spas. This spa town lies in a very clean environment, very little affected by civilization, with springs of mineral acids with the highest content of carbon dioxide in the Czech Republic. A total of five springs are used for medicinal purposes. The greatest expansion of the spa was recorded after 1901. Spa services focus mainly on the treatment of cardiovascular diseases, diseases of the musculoskeletal system and metabolism. The town is surrounded by forests to the south and a large part of the town center is occupied by a spa park.
Prusík's spring
Priusík's spring is used for medicinal purposes, which is a natural ferric acid with an increased content of metasilicic acid. A cold spring with an average temperature of 9.1 C has a flow rate of 120 l / min. The drilling to a depth of 40 meters was carried out in 1966. The spring was named after the Prague professor of internal medicine and a great supporter of Konstantinovy Lázně, MUDr. Bohumil Prusík.
