Aquaparks Západní Čechy

Refreshment in the heart of Pootaví that will not disappoint

As all roads supposedly lead to Rome, for all pilgrims and travellers exhausted by the summer heat, they should rather lead to Horažďovice. It is precisely in this unassuming yet picturesque small town between Strakonice and Klatovy that the fully equipped Aquapark Horažďovice awaits visitors, reliably refreshing every lover of water fun. The dawn of the new millennium brought various expectations to people, but for Horažďovice, the year 2000 was memorable primarily because the local aquapark opened its doors then. To enable the complex to keep pace with the times, it underwent a thorough renovation twelve years later, bringing not only new water attractions but also a modern wellness centre.

Water Fun and Relaxation All Year Round

A great advantage of the Horažďovice aquapark is the fact that it is completely indoor, meaning it can be fully enjoyed 365 days a year regardless of the whims of the weather. The heart of the entire facility is a spacious swimming pool surrounded by large windows that let in pleasant daylight. Anyone seeking a proper dose of adrenaline will be reliably lured by the 62-metre-long water slide. Even the youngest visitors will find something to their liking. Two slides, a water toadstool, and even special children's massage jets await them in the children's pool, allowing even little ones to try out what adults do. The offer of water fun is complemented by a whirlpool bath, a wild river, a globular water fountain, a counter-current, air grates, water spouts, a water mushroom, and air beds with massage jets.

More Than Just Swimming: Wellness, Fitness and Swimming Courses

The range of services by far does not end there, however. Thanks to the wellness zone, after frolicking in the water, visitors are treated to a classic Finnish sauna procedure, a steam bath, an infra-sauna, a solarium, selected massages, or a well-deserved rest in the relaxation zone. For those for whom water activities are not enough, a fully equipped fitness centre with dumbbells, machines, exercise bikes, elliptical trainers, and a functional zone with tatami mats, suspension systems, expanders, or medicine balls is prepared. Effective water exercise can also be utilised. In addition, a swimming school for all age and weight categories operates here, where basics are learned or technique is perfected, and the popular baby swimming with the assistance of parents and kind instructors is also not missing.

Discover the Magic of Horažďovice and Šumava

Is a holiday being planned and a place to rest one's head being considered? Horažďovice can be chosen as a base for trips. In the town itself, a choice of hotels, guesthouses, or apartments can be made, or cottages and chalets in the surroundings will be encountered. Should the capacity be full, great facilities can also be found in nearby Strakonice, Kašperské Hory, Sušice, Srní, or Kvilda. Furthermore, the local stay can be easily combined with discovering natural beauties. Národní park Šumava is less than an hour's drive away from here. There is no need to travel far across borders, because an interesting and relaxing holiday full of water and fun can be fully enjoyed even in western Bohemia.

In the beautiful spa town of Jáchymov, located in close proximity to the German border in the Karlovy Vary district, one can find a place that will delight lovers of relaxation and water fun. Aquacentrum Agricola is the reason why many domestic and international visitors travel here every year. Although Boží Dar may be more famous in this part of Západní Čechy, this water park is a guarantee that you will fall in love with the picturesque Jáchymov after your very first visit.

Agricola was the first state spa building in Lázně Jáchymov. It was built between 1906 and 1911. A century later, it underwent a reconstruction and was expanded to include a new year-round water park, the first in the Krušné hory. In 2011, during the celebrations of the spa's centenary, the complex was renamed Aquacentrum Agricola in honour of Georgius Agricola.

The centre is located directly in the heart of Jáchymov. A pleasant promenade with numerous parks runs around it, where you can stop and relax. Although the Agricola water centre is not a classic large water park, such as Aqualand Moravia in Jižní Morava, it still has much to offer its visitors, and you can spend a pleasant day here.

For fans of traditional swimming, two 25-metre lanes are prepared with a pleasant temperature of around 28 °C. For the youngest children, there is a children's pool with a waterfall. Of course, there is also a water slide and a hot tub. The relaxation part of the pool is equipped with massage jets and water features, and you will also find a rest area or a summer terrace with sun loungers here. A Finnish sauna, a steam box, and a Kneipp path also contribute to perfect comfort.

If you crave something tasty, take advantage of the services of the local café. After a good coffee and dessert, you can head to one of the wellness procedures that Aquacentrum Agricola also offers. You can relax pleasantly, for example, in the salt cave or the cryo-chamber. We can also recommend massages, from classic and lymphatic drainage to special chocolate or Thai massages. A paraffin wrap is also very relaxing for tired hands. The range of services is truly extensive.

And not only in the water centre, but throughout Jáchymov. Throughout the year, you can visit a number of interesting places here. Your fitness will be tested, for example, by a hike up Klínovec – the highest mountain in the Krušné hory. At its summit, you will find the Klínovec observation tower. In good weather, you will see not only the Krušné hory but also the České středohoří or Šumava. During the winter, the local Skiareál Klínovec is in use. Thanks to its connection with the nearby Skiareál Boží Dar - Neklid, it has become one of the most popular ski resorts in Západní Čechy.

If you are looking for suitable accommodation for a winter holiday in the Krušné hory, choose, for example, one of the apartments in Boží Dar. Incidentally, you can also find apartments in Jáchymov itself, as well as cosy cottages, chalets, or guesthouses. In the immediate vicinity, Krušné hory hotels are also prepared for you. Whether you choose accommodation in the mountains or accommodation directly near Aquacentrum Agricola, you will certainly be satisfied. We wish you a pleasant time.
