About the destination:
Founded in 1793, Františkovy Lázně is a small spa town with a well-preserved Neo-classical spa centre. Pleasant and relaxing, it seems light years away from the hustle and bustle of modern life. There is rich cultural life in this charming town – Johann Strauss Festival or the
Literary Festival are just two of the most popular annual events. Colonnade concerts are held every day during the summer season. A natural wonder – SOOS reserve featuring natural
gas flows – can be visited in the vicinity of Františkovy Lázně. The extinct volcano Komorní Hůrka, the butterfly farm in Žirovice, and Ostroh Castle are amongst other notable sights in the area.
