Priessnitz Healing Spa in Jeseník

Jeseník Spa The Jeseník Spa, or Priessnitz Healing Spa, is used by thousands of patients from all over the world and is also visited by tourists and mountain lovers. The Jeseník Spa was founded in the early nineteenth century by local native Vincenz Priessnitz.

Since he treated “only” with water and fresh air, the locals considered him a charlatan or, at best, a divinely gifted healer. Priessnitz’s methods were also criticized by doctors, especially surgeons, because they were used to radical treatment solutions.

However, the successes of the treatment were so significant that the whole of Europe heard about the spa, and prominent personalities such as the composer Ferenc List and the Russian writer Gogol were treated here.

There are many springs, gazebos and monuments in the surroundings, so Jeseník offers everything for a peaceful spa stay as well as for a family outing.
