✓ Verified on 2026-07-31
Jánské Lázně's warm spring was, by local tradition, found in 1006, though documented bathing use dates from the 14th century; Prince Johann Adolf I of Schwarzenberg built the first six spa structures at the spring in 1677. The Aqua Centre's irregular 230 m² rehabilitation pool is filled with mineral water at 27°C piped directly from the Janský and Černý springs within the spa grounds, alongside indoor whirlpools at 32°C. Sitting at 519 metres inside the Krkonoše (Giant Mountains) UNESCO biosphere reserve, the spa became internationally known after 1945 for treating post-polio paralysis, and in 1981 built the Vesna children's rehabilitation clinic that brought the town's mineral-water therapy to international standards of paediatric care.
By tradition the spring was discovered in 1006; documented bathing dates from the 14th century, with the first purpose-built spa structures erected in 1677 by Prince Johann Adolf I of Schwarzenberg. The town gained international recognition after WWII for pioneering post-polio rehabilitation, formalised in 1981 with the Vesna children's clinic.
