The largest colonnade in Karlovy Vary, built of stone in the pseudo-Renaissance style, was opened in 1881 and covers a total of five mineral springs. The attic of the colonnade is complemented by allegorical statues representing the different months of the year. In the past, it was a laughing stock and earned various nicknames, such as the carrot bed.

RUSALKA SPRING The water springing from it was in its time more popular than that from the Mill Spring. The spring also had its own colonnade of the New Spring, later rebuilt and named Mlýnská.
