      Křížový pramen is one of the many healing springs in Marienbad. It is one of the oldest and longest used springs in the city. The Cross Spring Pavilion is depicted on the emblem [1] that was granted to the city on June 1, 1866 by the privilege of the emperor. [2] Heavily mineralized and due to the presence of sulfates, it has a laxative effect. This source is sulfate bicarbonate sodium iron acid with an increased content of metasilic acid. It used to be called glacial or hydrochloric acid. The cause of the salty taste is the higher sodium content. It has a high solids content, especially salts.

      The hotel is located in the spa town next to the colonnade. It rises below Masarykova Street in Skalníkovy sady. Because of its high salt content, it was originally called Slaný pramen. Its current name is after a wooden cross, which was built in 1749 by the Teplice pharmacy Damián Schultz near the source. [3]

      Opening times: daily from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m.

        The Cross Spring is one of the oldest springs in Mariánské Lázně. Above all, its effects have Dr. Nehr, who discovered Mariánské Lázně for the healing spa world, used for treatment. It is a very salty and very mineral water - it contains 10 grams of mineral salts per liter. Thanks to this, it is used in healing diseases of the digestive system, diseases of the gallbladder, liver and pancreas, it is also known as a good helper against constipation. Patients who have blood pressure and heart problems must always consult with the doctor to enjoy the cross spring. Because of the high salt content, it is not suitable for patients with high blood pressure and patients with heart problems because of its ability to bind water in the body.
        Can be visited free of charge, drinking vessels brought along are appropriate, but can also be purchased there...
