Radium Palace Jachymov*****

JachimovIn a wooden countryside at the foot of the Krušné hory Mts., is located Jáchymov. Thanks to rich discoveries of silver in the 16th century, Jachymov became a royal town with the right to coin legendary thalers whose name was the origins of the name of today's American dollar. At the turn of the 20th century substantial radioactive springs were detected in the former silver mines and their healing effects prompted the founding in 1906 of the first radioactive spa in the world. In the park near the spa stands a monument to Marie and Pierre Curie who, in 1903, isolated polonium and radium from Jáchymov pitchblende.
