Out of this fountain, the hot mineral water gushes up to 12 meters high. It is run only by the natural pressure of the water. The water is nearly 75°C hot. Unfortunately, we saw only the outside spring, as the building with the inside fountain was already closed. The water is from the main source of Karlovy Vary mineral waters, which is also used for bathes. When it is windy, the water is spread all over the square and you can breath the air enriched with aerosoles of mineral water. Also just watching the fountain is interesting, as the water gushes not constantly with the same speed and height.

Built in the1970s with a stern communist-concrete aesthetic, the Hot Spring Colonnade (Vridelni kolonada) is nevertheless a good place to begin your visit to the springs of Karlovy Vary. Inside, vendor stands sell the two main items you need to fully experience the scene: a spa cups, in my opinion are the most beautiful in the town, and some wafer cookies Oplatki. Unfortunately, inside the glass atrium, where a natural, steaming geyser should spurts 20 feet into the air was still under reconstruction when we were in September in the town. Inside there are several sources with different temperatures and the hottest in the city at 72 degrees. Good to visit this colonnade in winter time or rainy days, this is a closed building on all sides. Outside colonnade there are wonderful souvenir shops, which also sell inexpensive Czech glass, like glasses, cups and also high-end shops with crystal, vases, chandeliers - the colonnade is located in the very center of the city. Enjoy you visit in beautiful city!
