Credit for the extensive modernisation of the balneological methods applied in Karlovy Vary goes to David Becher (1725-1792), a highly talented doctor who introduced a number of new methods of treatment and greatly contributed to the spa's further expansion.
Karlovy Vary`s promising development in the first half of the 18th century was temporarily halted by a great fire on May 23rd, 1759, which destroyed 224 buildings. Recovery took place in a relatively short time.
The early 19th century witnessed another boom in spa treatment. Even the upheaval caused by the Napoleonic Wars failed to undermine the town's prosperity.
World War I meant the end of the "good old days", reversing the spa's previous promising development. In spite of this a number of important construction projects were implemented, including the Březová dam on the river Teplá (1936), and methods of treatment were further improved.
From long ago paths led across the countryside of the Czech, which enabled long distance business contacts between Bohemia and the Alpine countries. Their destination was mainly Praha, as the natural centre of the Czech country, and an gateway for other travels to the German countries, Poland, Russia, and towards the Baltic sea. The crossing over the thick and extensive expansion of border forests which were sparsely populated, was during the Middle Ages only by narrow footpaths, which where difficult to traverse. Their direction went across passable sections of the mountainous region of Šumava, and along the flow of the Vltava river, which divided the region into two different sections. At the beginning the paths had a width sufficient only for two donkeys with goods, but later on the paths were properly strengthened and widened.
