According to written records, it is the oldest spring in Luhačovice. It gushed forth on Spa Square, in the middle of the Grand Colonnade. The spring was first developed sometime between 1669 and 1680. Because of its very salty taste, it was called “Slaný” (Salty), and because carbon dioxide escaped from it with a loud bubbling sound, it was also known as the “Bubbling Spring.” In 1792, the spring was renovated and renamed “Amandka.” Further renovations took place in 1904 and 1908. The spring’s current functional design dates from 1947–1948, when the Great Colonnade was built. When a new well was drilled on the spa square in 1988 to a collection level of 50 m (Vincentka 2), the Amandka’s previous discharge level gradually decreased and it no longer flows to the surface. Its average flow rate was 3.7 l/min. Following the renovation of the colonnade, completed in 2019, you will find a drinking fountain from the nearby Vincentka spring at the site where Amandka once flowed.

This page provides an overview of the lesser-known springs in Luhačovice, which complement the main publicly accessible springs (Vincentka, Ottovka, Aloiska, Dr. Šťastný, and Nový Jubilejní). For a complete overview of all the springs, including their therapeutic effects, see the article “Mineral Waters of Luhačovice.”

Amandka (no longer bubbling to the surface)

Elektra 1

It is one of the most concentrated springs in the Luhačovice spring system. It rises near the Elektra Cultural Center. The spring originally flowed freely into the Horní Olšava River. It was not until 1908 that it was excavated and lined, and in 1910, following the river’s regulation, it was properly channeled. Later, in 1930, a borehole was drilled to a depth of 81.4 meters at the bottom of the well. During further modifications, the spring was channeled all the way to Lázeňské náměstí, where it was used for drinking therapy from 1934 to 1937. The final modifications to the spring took place in 1938–1939. During the excavation of the well, animal bones, antlers, a hollow tree trunk, and traces of a fire pit were found at a depth of nine meters. Archaeologists estimate the age of these remains to be 30,000 years. Due to its high mineral content, the Elektra spring was used for the production of spring salt. Currently, it is used at the Palace and Morava hotels for inhalations and carbonated baths. Elektra has elevated levels of boric acid, iodine, and lithium. The spring’s average flow rate is 14 l/min. Elektra 2 is located right next to it. The well was drilled in 1976; it is 13.5 m deep and has a flow rate of 15 l/min. It is not in use and is classified as an observed source.

Bystrica - a mineral spring in Luhačovice

The spring was drilled in 1972 on Dr. Veselý Street, near the spa house of the same name. It is not in use and is classified as an observed spring. Its flow rate is 15 l/min.

New Reading Room

It was drilled in 1987 next to the Community Center, toward the headquarters building. At the time of drilling, the spring had a high flow rate of 120 l/min. The maximum pumping rate was set at 60 l/min. The water is diverted to the mineral water reservoir to increase the capacity of the bath mixtures used for carbonated baths.

New Janovka

It was the second spring to be drilled (after Nová Čítárna) in 1987 to address the water shortage following an accident involving a sewer collector. The water is channeled into a storage tank for carbonated baths, but it can also be used for inhalation treatments. The spring’s flow rate is 60 l/min.

Vincentka 2

The well is located in front of the east side of the Jurkovič House, facing the Round Fountain. The spring is not currently in use, but it is prepared for drinking therapy, inhalation treatments, and carbonated baths. The spring’s pumping capacity is set at 40 l/min.

Vladimír Spring - Luhačovice

It was discovered in 1988 at a depth of 42 m. It is located on Nábřeží Street on the left bank of the Horní Olšava River. It is used for carbonated baths and is also suitable for inhalations. The spring’s pumping quota is set at 60 l/min.

Jaroslava Mineral Spring

It is the youngest spring in Luhačovice. It is located on the grounds of the Miramare II health resort. Since 1998, this highly mineralized acidic spring water has been used for baths to treat musculoskeletal disorders and for carbonated baths at the Miramare Sanatorium. The flow rate is 30 l/min.

Sulfur Spring (no longer flowing to the surface)

It was one of the most abundant springs in Luhačovice (60 l/min) and was the only one that did not have the characteristics of carbonated mineral water. It was non-mineralized water, containing only 0.6 g of minerals per liter, but it did contain hydrogen sulfide. It emerged on the left bank of the Horní Olšava River between the spa garages and an abandoned quarry. It was already known around 1700 under the name Sirkovnica. It underwent several modifications. In 1912, it was diverted to the sulfur baths, where it was used for sulfur baths. In the past, visitors could taste the spring upon entering the peat baths.
