The small spa town of Františkovy Lázně (Franzensbad) is in the Karlovy Vary (Karlsbad) Region, in the Cheb District, 442 m above sea level. It is part of the so-called “West Bohemian Spa Triangle” and has retained the character of a spa town from the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries. All roads lead through well-kept parks, creating a peaceful, welcoming atmosphere. Its convenient location near the border also makes Františkovy Lázně (Franzensbad) an attractive destination for visitors.

The healing properties of the springs in Franzensbad have been known since the 15th century. The town was founded in 1793 by Emperor Francis I as the world’s first peat spa. The spring water was popular not only with local people, but was also sold throughout Germany. Historical records show that in 1700 a larger quantity of Franzensbad water was sold in Germany than all German spa towns together could supply at the time.
