Luhačovice is a spa town in the Czech Republic known for its 17 sodium and one sulfur springs. Every hour, 15,000 liters of mineral water containing elements like sodium, calcium, and magnesium rises to the surface. The most famous springs include Vincentka, Aloiska, Ottovka, and springs named for Dr. Šťastný and St. Joseph. The historic spa colonnade features a sand path between monumental houses designed by Dušan Jurkovič in a folk secession style inspired by Arts and Crafts, radically changing the town's buildings and layout from 1902-1914.
2. • Luhačovice is a spa town in the Zlín Region,
Moravia in the Czech Republic. On the territory
of Luhačovice spew 17 sodium hydrocarbonate
acidulous springs and one sulphurous spring
bubble to the surface. Every hour, 15
thousands litres of mineral water reach the
surface here, containing a large amount of
dissolved mineral elements, particularly

carbon dioxide. The most famous springs, and
often the goal for many walks and obligatory
stops by spa guests are Vincentka, Aloiska,

Joseph.
3. • The best place is definitely spa colonnade
for me. It consists of long sand road (and
its forbidden to ride a bike on it) and a lot
of old monumental houses along this
road. Dušan Jurkovič made his own
architecture style inspired by folk
secession and also British movement Arts
and Crafts. Based on this style he
designed and built many building, villas,
houses or tumulus, especially along the
spa colonnade. In years 1902-1914 he
radically changed the whole look of the
buildings and also layout of the city. For
example Jurkovičův dům, Chaloupka, Vila
Vlastimila or Vodoléčebný ústav.
