The brewery was closed in 1907, and the buildings were used solely as farm houses. The brewery was restored only three years ago, in 2000, during an extensive and difficult reconstruction of the entire complex. The current Strahov Monastic Brewery offers to its guests a total capacity of 350 seats in three peculiar environments the brewery itself, St. Norbert Restaurant and Brewery Courtyard. http://www.klasterni-pivovar.cz/ During the excursion you will see Prague Loreto, you will cross Hradčanské náměstí and get to Prague Castle.

It is a place where history meets today and where a pleasant holiday means everything from spa relaxation through to actively participating in sports & walks and finally ending your day relaxing to a variety of entertainment programs. The basis of this grandiose project proposed by the architect Václav Skalník required significant terrain modifications on which the parks were subsequently created. Other than the town’s springs, the parks are perhaps the most significant and imposing feature of the town. The main spa promenade and town’s most significant monument is the Colonnade, which was made from cast iron in 1889. The drinking treatment springs Cross (Kříž), Carolina(Karolina) and Rudolf are directed to outlets on the Colonnade. In front of the Colonnade is the town’s biggest tourist attraction, the Singing Fountain. The Singing Fountain The Singing Fountain is one of the dominant features of Mariánské Lázně. It is situated on the Colonnade close to the statue of Abbot Reitenberger. The fountain is a circular pool of 18m diameter with a 12-piece stone sculpture of stylized flower forms with a polished steel center piece. The fountain is made up of a 10 basic water jet system that in total contains more than 250 actual jets with the center jet capable of reaching a height of six meters. Its operation is computerised enabling it to produce a very creative and varied combination of jet effects including coloured lights embedded within the pool.

DAY 4 |
Treatments in Beer Wellness land Chodová Planá. Real Beer Baths are an original curative spa therapy combining remedial effects of warm mineral water, beer, ingredients for brewing beer, products of the brewing process and classical as well as special massages. Real Beer Baths include: The aim of the baths involves harmonizing functions of the organism, mental rest, recondition and relaxation. The procedures have curative effects on the complexion and hair, relieve muscle tension, warm up joints and support immune system of the organism. For better rejuvenating results I recommend to accompany the original beer treatment with a partial massage aimed at problematic body parts or a full body massage reducing muscle tension. Real Bear Baths The real beer baths are prepared in a rehabilitation tub from water and mineral water ILSANO® and have a temperature of 34 °C. The special ingredients consist of dark Bathing Beer, which is produced in a traditional way based on the original copyright method and made by the main brewer of the family brewery Chodovar, active beer yeast, hop draff and a mixture of dehydrated crushed herbs. The bath level is covered by the distinct beer foam of a caramel colour and the area is scented by the fragrance of freshly brewed dark beer. Treatment process The client is immersed into the bath whose agreeable temperature causes mild and gradual rise of the heart activity and activation of blood circulation in all the vascular system. The bath warms the cuticle and opens up skin pores through which, due to moderate sweating, unhealthy substances are scoured away from the subcutis. The hop draff functions as purifying peeling, removing tired parts of skin. The active beer yeast provides the skin with a wide range of vitamins B, proteins and saccharides and contributes to overall softening and regeneration of the cuticle. Carbonized bubbles contained in the mineral water ILSANO®remain on the skin and thus enable effective relaxation in mild sparkling baths. To harmonize the blood pressure, increase the outcome of the bath and enhance the relaxation experience, the guests are recommended a glass of natural non-pasteurised Chodovar, which positively works on all the digestive system as well. The length of the stay in the bath is 20 minutes. After the bath the client is reposed on a bed in the relaxation area and covered by a sheet and a fleece quilt. With dimmed light and pleasant music, the organism starts soothing. The warmed up body finishes the sweating phase, the heart activity slows down, the blood pressure slowly decreases, the muscles get released and the body energy is renewed. The purified and rejuvenated skin receives healthy and effective substances, which have remained on the cuticle and are gradually absorbed through the pores into the subcutis. The physical rest reflects the mental rest and the relaxed body enables our mind to disengage and release a flow of positive thoughts and energy. The suggested time of the rest after the bath is at least 25 minutes. Remedial packs Original malt draff remedial packs Curative effects of malt draff: 1) Physical – following a medical consultation, warmed up malt draff (38 °C – 42 °C) is applied on problematic parts, such as nape, shoulders and hands.

DRESDEN Though the attribute ‘world famous’ is dished out all too readily, it is a befitting term in the case of Dresden. The city is famed not only for its three major landmarks –Zwinger Palace, Semper Opera House and the Church of Our Lady – but also for Brühl Terrace and the Royal Palace, for the Elbe palaces on the Loschwitz hillside, for the exclusive villas of Blasewitz, the garden city of Hellerau and, of course, for the twelve Dresden State Art Collections. And not forgetting the city centre’s prime position on the western bank of the Elbe, at the apex of one of the river’s gently sweeping meanders.
