Karlovy Vary (Czech pronunciation: [ˈkarlovɪ ˈvarɪ] (About this soundlisten); German: Karlsbad, pronounced [ˈkaʁlsˌbaːt] (About this soundlisten)) is a spa city in the Karlovy Vary Region of the Czech Republic. It has about 48,000 inhabitants. It lies on the confluence of the rivers Ohře and Teplá, approximately 130 km (81 mi) west of Prague. It is named after Charles IV, Holy Roman Emperor and the King of Bohemia, who founded the city in 1370. It is the site of numerous hot springs (13 main springs, about 300 smaller springs, and the warm-water Teplá River), and is the most visited spa town in the Czech Republic.[2] Until 1945, when the German-speaking inhabitants were expelled, the city was overwhelmingly German-speaking.
