Karlovarsky Kraj: Spa Triangle and Western Bohemia
Karlovarsky kraj is the smallest Czech region by population, with approximately 295,000 residents, and sits in the westernmost part of the country along the German border. The region is defined by its spa tradition. Karlovy Vary (Carlsbad), Marianske Lazne (Marienbad), and Frantiskovy Lazne (Franzensbad) together form the West Bohemian Spa Triangle, inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List in 2021 as part of the "Great Spa Towns of Europe" serial nomination. Karlovy Vary alone has 15 major hot springs, with the Vridlo geyser reaching temperatures of 72 degrees Celsius.
Beyond the spas, the economy relies on porcelain (Thun and Haas & Czjzek brands have roots here), the herbal liqueur Becherovka (produced in Karlovy Vary since 1807), and tourism. The annual Karlovy Vary International Film Festival, held since 1946, ranks among the oldest film festivals in the world and draws industry figures each July. The Krusne hory (Ore Mountains) along the Saxon border, partly included in a separate UNESCO inscription since 2019, contain historic mining landscapes.
