The Czech spa town of Karlovy Vary Karlovy Vary is a small town in the Czech West Bohemian region. It was built in 1349 and has a population of 10,000 (1981). The Tepra River runs through the city first northeast and then northwest, dividing the town into two. There are more than a dozen small bridges of different styles on the river, which connect the two sides of the river, and the streets are on both sides of the river. The buildings on the side of the street are mostly hotels and sanatoriums, mostly Baroque, Rococo, Byzantine and neoclassical artistic styles, and the decoration is extremely gorgeous. The Tepra River is not beautiful, but it is a "hot spring river". There are hundreds of hot springs in the river bed, and the spring water spewed together with the river water to form a veritable hot river. So there are many hot springs in the town, unlike other hot springs used for bathing, the hot springs here are used for drinking, you can see many hot spring taps. In many shops in the town, there are hot spring cups for sale, that is, small porcelain pots of different shapes, mostly flat, as containers for water, spouts for taste, but the taste is not flattering.
