Ottův pramen, Mineral spring in Kyselka, Czech Republic.
Ottův pramen is a mineral spring in Kyselka where water flows through a pipe system from the Otto Pavilion into a stone basin. From there it cascades down through the lower park area, creating a series of small waterfalls.
Commercial water production began in 1867 when Heinrich Mattoni started bottling mineral water from the source. This venture established the area as an important center for mineral water extraction and trade.
The spring takes its name from Otto I of Greece, who visited the Kyselka spa in 1852. This royal connection became part of how locals identify and speak about the place.
Visitors can collect mineral water at designated outlets near Jindrichuv Dvur. The site provides convenient parking for those who come to gather water or explore the park.
The spring water emerges at approximately 19 degrees Celsius and its high mineral content reveals a long underground journey through rock layers. This natural composition makes the water chemically distinctive to those who study mineral springs.
