Once upon a time, when the Czech forests were still shrouded in the mist of mystery, Emperor Charles IV went hunting in the deep valleys of western Bohemia. His hunting dog was lost in the thicket, and when Charles found it, the dog was standing on a stone with steam rising from it.

Water gushed from the depths of the earth. Boiling, strong and full of life. Thus, for the first time, man saw the spring that never runs dry.

Legend has it that it was then that Charles IV understood the gift that the land holds. Thousands of people from all over the world have been coming to this water ever since to tap into its power and healing effects.

The gift of springs that endures

The legacy of the Karlovy Vary hot springs, a place where cleansing, strength and healing have been born for centuries, still springs from the ancient depths. The water from the springs, permeated with minerals, is a symbol of harmony between man and nature.

This story of healing continues today through the Karlovy Vary Spring Salt, which captures the best of the Karlovy Vary springs and brings their effects beyond the spa colonnades.

Salt is formed from water

It is from this unique spring water that the Karlovy Vary Spring Salt, a rare gift of nature, has been produced for more than 140 years, obtained by gentle evaporation.

This process preserves all the natural minerals and trace elements for which Karlovy Vary water is known for its healing properties. The mineral content of the salt is identical to that of the drinking springs, so each crystal brings the power of the Karlovy Vary springs directly to your home.

The power of nature for your health

Karlovy Vary spring salt helps:

  • strengthen the organism,
  • to support the natural metabolism,
  • replenish the necessary minerals,
  • and to bring the spa treatment closer to those who cannot visit Karlovy Vary at the moment.

It is a combination of tradition and human knowledge. It is also a reminder that health begins in nature at its purest source.

World unique

The production of Karlovy Vary Spring Salt takes place in the only plant of its kind in the world. This unique process combines more than a century of tradition with respect for natural resources and makes Karlovy Vary salt a true world original.

Every grain of salt is a witness to a heritage that has endured for centuries, from the time of Charles IV to the present generations who continue this tradition.
