Aurora Spa

Aurora is one of the two spa houses of Slatinné lázně Třeboň, the spa company of the town of Třeboň. It opened on 7 November 1975 and now has 666 beds in 339 rooms, in a 42-hectare park beside the Svět fishpond. Spa care here can be covered by Czech public health insurance.

The peat (slatina) is dug two to three times a year at Stará Borkovna, in the forest about 4 km from the spa, heated to 38–39 °C and piped directly to the tubs; used peat goes to a storage site 3 km away to return to nature. Aurora uses it as a peat bath (slatinná koupel), a mixture of peat and water at 37–38 °C for 15 minutes, and as a thicker peat wrap (slatinný zábal) at 40 °C. Both are followed by a shower and a rest in a dry wrap. All 18 of Aurora’s peat bathrooms were renovated in 2024.

Aurora Spa in Třeboň, Czech Republic offers bog baths and peat wraps, part of its medical rehabilitation program.

Peat from Czech Republic is mainly lowland fen peat and transitional bog peat. Treatments like these are sometimes called peat balneotherapy and peat body wraps. See our evidence library for the studies.
