Ice cream shops in Karlovy Vary Region
This is a region of spa promenades: the shops stand in Karlovy Vary, Mariánské Lázně and Františkovy Lázně, in Cheb and below the castle in Loket.
Italian gelato and fruit sorbets prevail, and some of the families behind them came from the Balkans. Recipes are built flavour by flavour, powdered bases are avoided, and one local speciality is made with Becherovka. In season, carts appear in the spa parks as well.
