PODĚBRADY – ABOUT THE CITY
The resort of Poděbrady, located in a picturesque fertile valley of the river Elbe, just 50 kilometers away from the city of Prague. The dominant position in the town has a castle and a magnificent sculpture of the Czech King George of Poděbrady, who, according to most Czech historians, was born in this castle. The suburbs of Poděbrady effect in a positive, soothing way, and the romantic atmosphere in the city is ideal for spa guests, as well as the local climate. The town lies at an altitude of only 185 m above sea level and therefore there is a stable warm climate, it is one of the warmest regions of the Czech Republic. The history of this resort town begins from finding of the balneary spring Poděbradka in 1915 in the courtyard of the castle.
This spring with excellent healing properties within a very short time made the resort one of the most popular spa areas. The town has changed enormously, and as long ago as 1908, the resort of Poděbrady was founded, which had and still has a great influence on the development of the city. Patients mainly with vascular heart diseases come here for treatment. At the beginning of the year 1911, the construction of building for the first industrial bottling of mineral water started near the colonnade. In the fifties of the last century, Poděbradka gained the flavor of lemon and orange, and thus became the first mineral water with a fruity flavor. By the way, you can personally compare which taste is better – flavored or natural. To do this, it is enough to take a spa cup and go to springs in the Poděbrady colonnade.
PODĚBRADY – TREATMENT
The key element of treatment at Poděbrady resort is alkaline mineral waters with a high content of carbon dioxide, magnesium, calcium and hydrogen sulfide present. The temperature of mineral spring water is about 14°C, it has a ferrous and sulphurous smell typical for such waters. This water some day, more than ten thousand years ago, poured with rain in the Czech mountains Krkonoše and from there it was slowly flowing with water-permeable rocks to the valley of the Elbe. In this long journey underground, the water has got saturated with liquid carbon dioxide and minerals dissolved in it. In the territory of the resort town, water is delivered to local balneological centers, where it is used to treat cardiovascular diseases,
i.e. diseases of heart and blood vessels. Poděbrady waters are used primarily for baths in which water is heated up to 33-34 °C. When taking such baths, blood vessels of patients widen, blood circulation improves, blood pressure and heart rate decrease. Regular bathing results in obvious improvement of energy indicators in heart function. Treatment procedures for each client are prescribed individually, taking into account their state of health and in accordance with the most modern medical methods.
