Historyedit
According to the chronicle of Simon Hüttel, a hot spring was discovered here on 6 June 1006 by Jan of Chockov, after whom the town was later named. The name literally means "Jan's Spa".[2]
The hot water was originally used to drive the water wheel, which activated the hammer mill. The first records of using the thermal spring for bathing is from the 14th century. In 1485, an accommodation house was built next to the spring. During 1675–1680 a village was founded here by order of Johann Adolf, Prince of Schwarzenberg. In 1881, it was promoted to a market town. In 1902, the spa was bought by the municipality. Janské Lázně was promoted to a town in 1965.[2]
In 1928, the first funicular from Janské Lázně to the Černá hora Mountain was built. In 1980, the old funicular to Černá hora was replaced by a new one with a different route.[2]
The largest employer in Janské Lázně is the spa. The spa is focused mainly of treatment of musculoskeletal disorders.[2] The water bath runs at a natural temperature of 27 °C (81 °F).[5]
The Art Nouveau colonnade built in 1904 is the most popular sight in the town. There is also the Krakonoš statue from 1906.[6]
The neo-Gothic Church of Saint John the Baptist was built in the 1880s.[7]
To the west of the town, there is the Krkonoše Tree Top Trail, a frequent tourist destination. It is an educational trail with a total length of over 1,500 m (4,900 ft). It is formed by a 45 m (148 ft) high tower.[8]
