Tips

Andrea und Huskys 🐺

In the year 1799 the filling in sour water bottles was mentioned for the first time. In 1929, the city built a fountain house with a bottling plant after the bottling and shipping of the healing water in so-called sour fountain jugs had ceased around the middle of the 19th century and several attempts to use the spring had failed.
The mineral water was now being shipped as healing water/table water and Schlossbergriesling. Between 1929 and 1945, Hohenberger Sprudel was sold far beyond the national borders. From 1945, the mineral water sales were leased to different companies until finally in 1975 the operation was completely stopped due to a lack of profitability.

The Carolinenquelle near Hohenberg an der Eger is an "iron-containing acid" and has been known far and wide for its health-promoting effects since 1600. The water was mainly used for drinking cures. The source was given its name in 1824 with the consent of the Bavarian Queen Caroline. The Carolinenquelle is part of a network of springs in the Eger region along the German-Czech border. Due to the beneficial properties due to the high mineral content and the abundant carbonic acid contained in it, the spring repeatedly attracted prominent visitors. Today all guests of the Carolinenquelle can convince themselves of the healing and vitalizing effects of the Hohenberger mineral water at any time.

In the valley of the Eger, surrounded by untouched nature at the foot of the Hohenberg castle, an acid well has been known since 1626, which was mainly used for drinking cures (Osann 1832, Müller 1843, v. Gümbel 1879, Quentin 1971). In 1824, this source was given the title Carolinenquelle with the consent of the Bavarian Queen Caroline.
