Farská Kyselka: A Mineral Spring Oasis

Nestled within the Slavkov Forest, Farská Kyselka offers a serene escape into nature and a taste of the region's renowned mineral springs. This freely accessible spring is located a short distance north of Mariánské Lázně, making it an easily reachable destination for spa visitors and nature enthusiasts alike. The spring itself is housed under a wooden gazebo, originally built around 1896, with a stone-lined shaft dating back to the early days of Mariánské Lázně's spa industry. The water emerges at a constant temperature of 7°C and is characterized by its high iron and magnesium content. As the water flows, it creates a small, ochre-colored pool, a testament to the mineral-rich composition of the spring. The spring is the highest elevated captured spring in the Slavkov Forest Protected Landscape Area. Visitors are welcome to sample the mineral water directly from the source, a tradition that has drawn people to the area for generations. The surrounding Slavkov Forest provides a beautiful backdrop for a leisurely walk or hike, with well-maintained trails leading to and from the spring. The combination of natural beauty and therapeutic waters makes Farská Kyselka a unique and refreshing destination.
