Temperature 39,6o C, CO2 content 677 mg/l, spring discharge 1,5 l/min. The spring is very popular among the patients for its high content of carbon dioxide and therefore for its acceptably acidulous taste. In places, where the small brook running from Little Versailles through the present-day Sadová Street led to the valley of the Teplá river, The Park Spring rises. It is the area, where the tectonic zone of Carlsbad hot-spring line crosses one of the southern branches of the Ohře fault, which closes the thermal zone from north. During excavation of a building pit for the Military Balneal Institute building (1851-52), concentrated extrusion of a spring was discovered. It sprung from granite along a 1.75 m wide streak of chert, which was documented by an Austrian geologist, F. Warnsdorf (1855). In 1854, the extrusion was caught by a bell-shaped basin and named The Emperor's Spring (Kaiserbrunn). The spring discharge was 7 litres per minute and its temperature was 50o C at that time. During reconstruction work in 1964, it was discovered that a bearing wall of the MBI was set directly above the spring basin. Output casing pipe from drilled trunk of lime tree was connected to the basin. The part of the casing pipe, which was constantly under water, was fully functional and the wood was absolutely sound, even after 110 years. The upper, rotten part was replaced by a stainless steel pipe. In this arrangement, the spring serves up to the present day. With regard to its above-mentioned lower discharge level, the spring was located in the basement of building. During the reconstruction work, some of the spring water was for the comfort of patients taken by pump to the level of promenade.
