Karlovy Vary Region, Administrative region in western Bohemia, Czech Republic
The Karlovy Vary Region encompasses three districts - Cheb, Sokolov, and Karlovy Vary - across 3,314 square kilometers of western Czech territory.
The region became an administrative unit in November 2000, evolving from its long history as a thermal spa destination dating back to medieval times.
The region maintains numerous spa towns, including Karlovy Vary, Mariánské Lázně, and Františkovy Lázně, where traditional healing treatments continue in historical buildings.
Transportation within the region operates through an international airport, extensive bus networks, and railway connections linking major towns and neighboring regions.
The mineral springs across the region produce water with distinct chemical compositions, which local companies bottle and distribute globally as Mattoni and Aquila.
