CZ-1389531 Karlovy Vary (Karlsbad) a famous spa town

Karlovy Vary or Carlsbad (German: Karlsbad) is a spa town situated in western Bohemia, Czech Republic, on the confluence of the rivers Ohře and Teplá, approximately 130 km (81 mi) west of Prague (Praha). It is named after Charles IV, Holy Roman Emperor and King of Bohemia, who founded the city in 1370. It is historically famous for its hot springs (13 main springs, about 300 smaller springs, and the warm-water Teplá River). It is the most visited spa town in the Czech Republic.

This postcard is in the shape of a mug made by Moser Glass which is located in Karlovy Vary.  The postcard shows the Mill Colonnade, a kamzik and a view of the city as well as the Hotel Imperial.
I received this postcard from Láda (Postcrossing May 2018).
