JÁCHYMOV – ABOUT THE CITY

The spa town of Jáchymov lies in a deep valley below the highest mountain Klínovec (1244 m) of the Krušné mountains near town of Karlovy Vary. The mining town was famous in the past for gold mining (16th century). In the Royal Mint, the silver tolar, which gave the name to the US dollar, was coined from 1519. At that time, Jáchymov belonged to the most important cities in Europe.
Another significant period of the town began in the mid-19th century, when uranium was mined in the Jáchymov mines. With the discovery of radioactivity and its therapeutic effects, the history of Jáchymov spa began in 1906 as the first radon spa in the world. Spa Jachymov is unique with its natural healing source – radon water.
JÁCHYMOV – TREATMENT

The Spa of Jáchymov is unique and different thanks to its natural healing source. It effectively treats locomotory system diseases with radon water, which unlike other sources, has chemical but energy effects. Healing helps in diseases of the joints, the peripheral nervous system and spine, skin diseases, the treatment of Bechterew’s disease etc. The basis of most of the treatment plans is bathing in radon water. A unique source of this natural wealth is Svornost Mine, which was built in 1518 and is the oldest uranium mine in the world. From this mine, radon water is guided through pipelines with a total length of 3000 m into individual balneological operations.
The treatment in the form of whole-body tub baths in radon water, combined with state-of-the-art methods of physical therapy and professional rehabilitation, has a significant anti-inflammatory and analgesic effect, thus giving patients long relief from pain, significantly improving joint mobility and increasing body resistance. And improves blood circulation. The healing energy of radon helps not only from pain but it also strengthens health. The effect of the spa treatment lasts for more than half a year, improving the quality of life of chronically ill patients, reducing the consumption of analgesics and other medicines. In Europe you will find a number of radon baths, but none of them have such a high concentration of radon in healing mineral water as in Jáchymov. Thanks to this, Jáchymov Spa is still the most effective radon spa.
