Hronovka and Regnerka

Hronovka and Regnerka (collectively known as Prdlavka^[1]) are a pair of mineral springs located in Hronov, Bohemia, Czech Republic.^[2] The springs were discovered in 1865 by Regner Havlovický near the home of Czech writer Alois Jirásek. Deeming that the water had curative properties, Jirásek's father (owner of the property on which the springs were discovered) had, by 1869, built a spa with bathing facilities filled with water from the springs. The spa soon went defunct, but since 1946, new facilities have been built, with a remodel in 1977, and full reconstruction in 2013.
