The royal official Juraj Wernher (1497-1567), the captain of Šariš castle, already paid attention to the mineral waters, healing and thermal springs of Spiš in his work “On the Wonderful Waters of Hungary”, published in Basel in 1549. At the foot of the Tatras, he mentioned two exceptional and rare springs (at that time they had no known names).
The evangelical teacher Juraj Buchholtz st. (1643-1724), in the manuscript of his biography from 1707, where he describes the pumping of water, its trading and the stylish construction of the first wooden log cabins and bathhouses around the springs. The acid spring is also mentioned by his son Jakub Buchholtz (1696-1758), a Kežmar conifer, mineralogist and botanist, who in 1751 led the imperial commission investigating the mineral wealth of Spiš. After examining several mineral sources, he recommended that people drink mineral water from the Tatras daily, mainly for its great taste and beneficial effects.
With this attribute, full demijohns were regularly transported on the backs of donkeys and horses from the source area in the Tatras, even for the personal use of Queen Maria Theresa, to the court in Vienna (more than 400 km!). Buyers even took them all the way to Constantinople (now Istanbul).
At the time when the “kings” drank it, it was orange in color because there was no way to reduce the high iron content. However, the quality of the water was preserved even for several weeks!
In 1754, in his official report on the two Smokovecky carbon sources, the Spiš county physician Ján Žigmund Kreysel (1717-1768) also expressed himself positively, and perhaps his knowledge and considerations prompted a little later, the educated Count Štefan Csáky, to build near the tasty and for visitors and healing springs, other objects. In their surroundings, the center of settlement of the Tatras naturally arose at that time. A more detailed analysis of the waters from the springs was carried out in 1772 by Viennese professor Heinrich Johann Crantz, who, in addition to carbon dioxide, also found iron and other important minerals in them. A highly respected expert at the time, he described this water in his work as the absolute best he had ever encountered, especially for its beneficial effects.
In the second half of the 19th century, two Smokovec springs were named Castor and Pollux, after twins from Greek mythology. People often adapted and changed their names. It was partly due to the fact that water was drunk in large quantities all over Hungary, under different names in each language. Today, we call this wonderful water, also because of the location of the spring, Chamois.
