Jáchymov built its wealth on silver and later on uranium ore. In 1906 the town opened the world's first radon spa, using water rising from the Svornost mine — the same galleries that supplied the ore for Marie Curie's research.
Balnevia view
Why visit
The setting is unlike any other European spa: a narrow mining valley, early twentieth-century sanatoria, and a treatment tradition built entirely around radon water drawn from a working historic mine.
The water
Thermal water
- Source
- Svornost mine radon water
- Mineralisation
- Radon-bearing mineral water
- Character
- Radioactive radon water drawn from the historic Svornost silver mine, used in medical balneology since 1906.
Practical information
Treatments are medical in character and usually booked as programmes through the spa houses rather than as walk-in bathing. The Radium Palace and neighbouring houses hold the pools and treatment wings.
