The Dvorak gardens are a small park located in Karlovy Vary . This is a place where people like to walk around like the citizens themselves, and tourists who want to get acquainted with local beauties.
Some historical information
The Dvorak gardens are named after the world-famous Czech composer Antonin Dvorak. He himself often visited this city (at least 8 times). Dvorak came here to meet with colleagues or to devote time to writing new compositions. Therefore, he often strolled along the Karlovy Vary, including his center.
At the end of the XIX century, Jan Gaman, a city gardener, decided that the Vintra park behind the military sanatorium should be refined. In his place, he broke a new garden.
This place quickly gained popularity among the population of the city. Already in 1881 the Blenen Pavilion was built here - it housed a restaurant, and concerts were held. In 1966, the pavilion was, alas, demolished due to poor condition.
In 1974, the Dvorak gardens were renovated, and it was at this time that they got their name. There was also a monument that perpetuated the famous composer.
