The long-subsided volcanic activity on the border of the Slavkov Forest was accompanied by the genesis of mineral springs that have completed the region of West Bohemia recognized all-around the world. Though Karlovy Vary (Carlsbad) , established by the celebrated Czech ruler Charles IV, is the most distinguished spa town in the region, there are numerous additional no less marvelous spa towns in the district that are extremely popular with both visitors with some health problems and travelers. Though the advantageous effects of the regional springs had supposedly become acknowledged in as early as the tenth century, spas did not actually develop until much later on, in the 19th century. At the same time, Franzienbad was established at the very end of the eighteenth century, followed by the formation of Marienbad, therefore completing the "Spa Triangle". Domestic and foreign guests alike have been coming to get pleasure from the indigenous mineral springs for hundreds of years; the visitors' book of the spa resorts contain the names of royals such as the English ruler Edward VII, Napoleon III, prominent composers such as Fryderyk Chopin and Richard Wagner, writers such as Johann W. Goethe, Mark Twain and Franz Kafka, or for example the honored Moravian-born founder of psychoanalysis Sigmund Freud. But there is much more.
