Villas in Janské Lázně

About Janské Lázně

Janské Lázně is a spa town of well under 1,000 people at 519 metres, with its northern part inside Krkonoše National Park. Its spa grew up around a hot spring, and it mainly treats musculoskeletal conditions in a bath kept at a natural 27°C. The homes sit very close together, so the centre and the cable car are in walking range. They are mostly two-bedroom flats and houses for around four, a few sleep large groups, and none have a private pool. Evenings are quiet, with spa-town hours rather than bars. In winter the town is a ski resort, in summer a base for walking, and in between it is quiet.
