Karlovy Vary

 
               
  It is said that Charles IV once went hunting in the woods, in the hilly areas and valleys where now the hot springs do bubble up.  
  The marvel which they saw amazed them greatly. They stepped closer, pulled the hound from the pool, and then tasted of the hot water which had so distressed the hound.  
   

The woods in this place were full of game. During the hunt, one of the hounds started to run after an animal. Whilst following it, the hound fell into a pool where hot water does now burst from the ground. The hound began to howl in pain. The hunters ran to the hound, believing it to have been wounded by the animal it had been chasing.
