Colonnades
Colonnades are a distinct element in the town’s cityscape. These colonnades allow visitors to enjoy the spring season even during rainy days. The town has five colonnades.
Found near Zámecký Vrch Street, the Castle Colonnade was designed in Art Nouveau style by Friedrich Ohmann, an Austrian architect who opened in 1912. Today, however, the general public can only access a part of it because the Castle Spa was built there during the early 21st century, and guests are the only ones allowed to stay there. The public can still access the arbor with its Upper Castle Spring.

The Hot Spring Colonnade is found adjacent to Divadelni Square in the spa center. It serves as the home to the most astounding of the geysers in the town, the Hot Springs. The temperature of the water is 72°C with the jet reaching a height of around 12m. It gushes approximately 2,000 liters of mineral water per minute.
