Bohemian Baths

MARIANSKE LAZNE, CZECH REPUBLIC - AUGUST 7: Spanish tourists enjoy a bath in the Roman Spa (actually built in the 19th century) August 7, 2002 in the spa town of Marianske Lazne, Czech Republic. Marianske Lazne, known for its mineral-rich waters that cure circulatory and kidney ailments, reached its prime in the 19th century and attracted such celebrities as British King Edward VII, Mark Twain, Thomas Edison, Richard Wagner and Johann Wolfgang von Goethe. Under communist Czechoslovakia the spas deteriorated from neglect, though today, along with its sister spa towns of Frantiskovy Lazne and Karlovy Vary, Marianske Lazne is again flourishing with fresh investment and attracting foreign tourists.
