On October 10, 2024, a popular and educational lecture on the topic "Spa Therapeutic Landscape" took place in the friendly atmosphere of the Café Pohovka in Karlovy Vary. The lecture was led by Ing. Jana Walterová, Ph.D., and was part of the CLV (Centre for Spa Research) project.

Key Theme: Spa Therapeutic Landscape

The therapeutic spa landscape is a key concept linking natural healing resources with human activity. In her lecture, Jana Walterová outlined the main aspects of this phenomenon and emphasized why the specific definition of therapeutic landscape is important in the context of spa areas. Participants learned how natural resources and thoughtfully designed environments can contribute to better health and mental well-being.

Discussion and interest of participants

The lecture was accompanied by a lively discussion that lasted about an hour. The discussion revolved mainly around the perception of the spa therapeutic landscape, its history, the difference between the general concept of therapeutic landscape and the specific spa therapeutic landscape. The participants were interested in the next steps that ILaB plans to take in this area within the CLV.

During the discussion there were also interesting suggestions for other topics that could be discussed in future lectures. The public had the opportunity to openly share their opinions and approaches to spa culture, which contributed to the friendly and relaxed atmosphere of the event.
