1. The Warm Waters of Warmbrunn

The Warm Waters of Warmbrunn

“The local waters are utmost magnificent (…). They are gently warm, filled with Karlsbad salt, and in but a small part contain liver of sulfur and iron. Beside them, like most mineral waters, they contain carbonic acids.”

(Hugo Kołłątaj, 1792)

“These waters are not merely used for baths but for drinking as well. When it comes to the latter, these waters were used for that purpose back in the 16^th century, taken from the same springs used today. But alas, soon prejudice arose against this miraculous cure and before long it was completely forgotten.”

(translation of: K.F. Mosch, “Die Heilquellen Schlesiens und der Grafschaft Glatz“, 1821)
