In Carlsbad, a spa town near the German border in the westernmost part of the Czech Republic, there are 13 springs with different temperatures and flavors of curative mineral waters. We partook of the waters via mini ceramic drinking cups and in the form of fizzy, carbonated baths! After strenuous hours soaking in slimy green pools, massage and mineral baths, we ate a hearty Czech lunch of tender pork shoulder, cabbage and, you guessed it, dumplings. Then we walked around the gorgeous town along the river lined with pastel palaces like an Easter-egg village sipping waters from each spring. Before we left, I tried the famous Becherovka liquor and Karlovy Vary wafers. Note: bypass the regular wafers and go straight for the chocolate and hazelnut flavored ones.
