Treatments in Konstantinovy Lázně
CO₂ bath: The central treatment. The CO₂ from the Forest Spring is used in individual baths at 33–35 °C. In konstantinovy lázně, these are conducted in small personal tubs rather than large communal halls — quieter and more intimate than at the larger spas. The gas pearls on the skin, expanding capillaries, lowering blood pressure, and improving cardiac perfusion. 1 — learn more.
Water treading: A traditional Triangle treatment. The patient wades knee-deep in cold spring water (8–10 °C) through a shallow basin. The cold stimulus initially constricts blood vessels; the subsequent rewarming dilates them — a powerful vascular workout that sustainably regulates blood pressure and improves peripheral circulation. Ten minutes of water treading delivers more vascular training than an hour of walking.
drinking cure: The hydrogen-carbonate-chloride water from the Konstantin Spring is drunk cold — on an empty stomach in the morning and before meals. The minerals support electrolyte balance, and the CO₂ absorbed through the stomach promotes circulation in the digestive organs.
Dosed forest walking: The surrounding forests of the Teplá Highlands offer marked walking paths from 500 metres to 5 kilometres on gently undulating terrain — ideal conditions for cardiac walking training. The altitude of 520 metres ensures clean, oxygen-rich air.
History and Atmosphere
Konstantinovy Lázně is the youngest and smallest foundation of the West Bohemian Triangle. Prince Konstantin zu Löwenstein-Wertheim — an enlightened nobleman and promoter of balneology — discovered mineral springs on his estate in 1803 and immediately commissioned a spa house. Unlike the grand imperial projects of Karlovy Vary or Mariánské Lázně, Konstantinovy Lázně remained deliberately small — never more than three spa hotels, never more than 1,000 inhabitants.
That intimacy is its greatest asset. The spa doctor knows every guest by name. The therapists tailor treatments individually. The spa park — small but impeccably maintained — is never crowded. The surrounding forests — mixed beech, oak and spruce — envelop the resort on all sides. Birdsong replaces traffic noise. Konstantinovy Lázně is for guests who want effective cardiovascular treatment in absolute peace — no tourists, no events, no distractions.
The Teplá Monastery, a Premonstratensian abbey founded in 1193, lies 15 kilometres away. Its library — with over 100,000 volumes, some dating to the 9th century — is one of the most important monastic libraries in Central Europe and well worth a half-day excursion.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Konstantinovy Lázně too small for a proper spa cure?
On the contrary — the small size is the main advantage. The doctors know every patient personally, waiting times are minimal, and the atmosphere is relaxed and personal. For a cardiovascular cure, three spa hotels and the forest surroundings are entirely sufficient. Larger medical facilities are available in Mariánské Lázně, 20 kilometres away.
How does Konstantinovy Lázně differ from Mariánské Lázně?
Both use CO₂-rich water for cardiovascular treatment. Mariánské Lázně has 40 springs and a broader treatment spectrum including kidney and 1 therapy — but also more guests and more activity. Konstantinovy Lázně focuses exclusively on cardiovascular disease in a quiet, personal atmosphere at about 20 percent lower cost.
Are there German-speaking doctors?
Yes — all spa doctors speak German. The German-speaking tradition is centuries old in the Triangle spas, and the small size of Konstantinovy Lázně makes the doctor-patient relationship particularly direct and personal.
Can I combine Konstantinovy Lázně with other Triangle spas?
Ideally. Mariánské Lázně is 20 kilometres away, Karlovy Vary 60 kilometres. A week at Konstantinovy Lázně for focused cardiovascular treatment, followed by a week at Mariánské Lázně or Karlovy Vary for broader therapy, is a perfect Triangle combination. 1 — see all comparisons.
