Small tourists who often meet in excursion groups ask a lot of leading questions. And that's great! So, Karlovy Vary did not leave them indifferent. Especially for children and school groups, I organized a tour of the resort, where children learn the history of the imperial hunt in the royal forest, about the first patients of the XIV century. We will find out what forces warm the mineral water and that the Tepla River is not warm at all, but icy. Why is Geyser wandering in the bowels?
