Teplice straddles the transition between the Ore Mountains and the north-west Bohemian lowlands, a position whose thermal mineral springs shaped it into a long-established spa town. The springs have been documented since the 12th century, and the town grew around treatment houses, parks and its historic spa quarter. Teplice later attracted European aristocrats and artists; Ludwig van Beethoven and Johann Wolfgang von Goethe met here in 1812. Today, spa architecture sits alongside the everyday life of a regional centre, with the wooded slopes of the Ore Mountains close by.
