Pramen Rusalka, Mineral spring in Karlovy Vary, Czech Republic
Pramen Rusalka is a mineral spring located within the Mill Colonnade in Karlovy Vary, discharging water at approximately 60 degrees Celsius. The spring sits within a historic covered gallery constructed in the late 18th century.
This spring was discovered in the mid-18th century and initially called the New Spring. The covered gallery housing it was built between 1792 and 1793.
The Mill Colonnade housing this spring displays twelve sandstone statues representing the months, designed by architect Josef Zítek. These sculptural elements blend artistic craftsmanship with the natural mineral setting.
The spring is located in the Mill Colonnade, easily accessible on foot from Karlovy Vary center or by local transport. The covered gallery provides shelter while you explore the warm water source at your own pace.
This spring is one of sixteen mineral sources in Karlovy Vary and bears the name of a water nymph from Slavic mythology. The poetic name connects the natural resource to local folklore.
