РусскийSinging Fountain
The Singing Fountain is one of the dominant features of Mariánské Lázně. There is a daily program of music played as the fountain springs into life - these performances take place every odd hour from 7 am until 10 pm with the final two displays (9 am & 10 pm), making use of embedded lights. Each year on 30th April at 9 pm, the fountain puts on its first performance of the new tourist season. The official close of the season comes on 31st October at 8 pm when the fountain puts on its final show.
The fountain is a circular pool, 18m in diameter with a 12-piece stone sculpture of stylized flower forms and a polished steel centre piece in the middle. The fountain is made up of a water jet system that in total contains 330 nozzles, the centre jet capable of reaching a height of six metres. The whole thing is computerised enabling it to produce a very creative and varied combination of effects which can include coloured lights embedded in the pool. The fountain's abaility to put on such dramatic shows was the work of academic architect Pavel Mikšík.
Reconstruction 2024-2025
In 2024, the Singing Fountain will undergo its biggest reconstruction since its creation. In particular, the technical facilities in the underground were modernised - stainless steel piping, pumps, electrical installations and a storage tank were newly installed. Above ground, the tank was repaired and insulated, the surfaces were cleaned and new nozzles were added. The fountain now uses a more efficient sound system and modern LED lighting.
The goal of the renovation was to preserve the original artistic appearance of the fountain while ensuring its long-term reliability. The total cost was almost CZK 50 million and was covered by the budget of the town of Mariánské Lázně.
