Temperature 45,4oC, CO2 content 589 mg/l, yield 2 l/min. The mineral spring originally came out from the earth on the bottom of the river. Since long ago horses were watered in warm water here and that was why the site got the name the Horse Spa. The spring was improved only in 1845 , after the rock had been broken off, and promenades were built on both river banks.This new source of mineral water was called the Rock Spring. Since 1850 the spring has been used the Karlovy Vary drinking cure. A provisional wooden pavillon was built later. Even at that time it was envisaged that the spring would be a part of a big colonnade. This plan was realized after the Mill Colonnade had been built. The collection of the Rock Spring brought lots of difficulties- the thermal water originally sprang in the river-bed and it was necessary to make it accessible by taking it several metres higer. It was necessary to find another solution.Thanks to a new well (1984) the Rock Spring can be collected at the level of the promenade road now.
