South Bohemia’s Frymburk gets spa town status

People will now be able to visit Frymburk in South Bohemia for spa treatments after the town, which is on the banks of Lipno dam, was granted permission by the Ministry of Health to provide such services, Novinky.cz reported on Saturday. The procedures will be covered by health insurance if ordered by a doctor, the news site said.

A local official said they hoped spa care facilities would be in operation by the second half of next year.

Frymburk is the 37th place in Czechia that has been granted official spa town status.
