The tradition of spas in Trebon has come from using a natural healing source – peat. There are rich deposits of peat in the Trebon region bogs. The local peat is rich in iron and sulphur and it is used for the treatment of bones, muscles and joints. First spa in Trebon was opened in 1883. The town of Trebon gained its Spa town status in 1960. About 13 000 guests from the Czech Republic and many other European countries visit Trebon’s spas every year.
