Kriváň 3 Sanatorium — Karlovy Vary, Czech Republic*
Why it's my favorite: A classic and very convenient option for those looking to combine treatment and a relaxing holiday in the heart of Karlovy Vary. Located directly opposite the Garden Colonnade with its drinking springs, everything is within walking distance, without steep climbs. Ideal for people from the CIS: Russian-speaking staff, delicious dietary cuisine, effective treatments without waiting in line. Treatment rating: 9.4/10 – many report noticeable improvements in digestion, joint problems, and overall well-being. Not luxurious, but clean, cozy, and truly therapeutic – perfect for slowing down and recharging your batteries.
