Karlovy Vary, Czech Republic


Karlovy Vary
Originally uploaded by Martin Callum.
A day trip out of Loket was to Karlovy Vary, a much larger town. This area is called Carlsbad and is famous for it's spas. People walk around to the ancient and modern collonades, and fill up these strange little water cups will water from the springs. I must say, it tastes a little bizarre, but apparently it is supposed to keep you young and healthy!!!
The rest of the buildings are these stately flats along the river. We also walked up into the surrounding hills to find some absolute mansions, perfectly manicured. There was this bizarre church of SS Peter and Paul in the residential area, pictured in flickr. *Stub
