Kurhotel Behounek

+

Modern with a magnificent view of the Erzgebirge panorama, located on a slope at the forest edge (about 300 m from Agricola).

The hotel is situated on a slope above the Jáchymov valley and has been a prominent landmark of the valley since 1975. It has become a popular and sought-after destination for many visitors due to its spaciousness, airiness, and unique views of the surrounding Ore Mountains.

The healing successes of the spa are based on the noble gas radon. Thanks to the high radon content (at the sources 10.5 kBq/l), the effects of a 3-week therapy are gently equivalent to those of radon mine therapies.

St. Joachimsthal is located on the southern slope of the Ore Mountains, close to the German border. The healing successes of the spa are based on the noble gas radon. In the 16th century, Joachimsthal was one of the most important cities in Europe due to its minting rights. The city's history is closely linked to the mining of silver, tin, and uranium. The last active mine in Joachimsthal, called Svornost, supplies the treatment areas with radon water.

The historic city centre of Joachimsthal is a protected zone with houses in the style of Renaissance-Gothic.

In the tranquil spa district in the lower part of the city, you will find not only spa hotels, restaurants, and the Aquazentrum Agircola with a mine sauna, but also a picturesque spa park with a music pavilion, a children's playground, and a small lake. The spa district is surrounded by a forest park with many hiking trails.

Special dietary needs such as diet-specific, vegetarian, lactose-free, and gluten-free options are also catered for. Individual dietary requirements can be discussed with a nutrition therapist. Entertainment is provided by the dance café with regular cultural events and a lounge perfect for dominoes and bridge games.
