Tourist Attractions

In 2010 the cinema Slavia underwent a large technical modernization. This upgrade included acquiring new equipment for both audio and video including 3D technology.

The spa forests nature trail in Mariánské Lázně presents a wide selection of topics and focuses on spa care, history, geology, mining, forestry, zoology, botany and ecology. Some 23 stations are spread out over 5km of forest trails where info boards are packed with interesting information.

As you walk through this part of the Slavkovský Forest, you may wonder what that rotten smell is. It comes from small rifts which host no life. Bleached skulls of field mice and forest birds, together with a myriad of insects grimly complete the picture.

This protected spruce rises northwest of Marianske Lazne between "Svobody" alley  and "Smetana" alley. The spruce is estimated to be 200 years old and is a truly majestic tree - the trunk circumference is 450cm and it is 39 m tall. It first emerged from the ground around 1818 when Mariánské Lázně was first declared a public spa. In March 2017 strong wind got the better of the spruce which fell. A fallen tree remains protected, so it can still be admired where it lies.

'Goethe's Retreat' is a sandstone obelisk and two stone resting places on the side of Hamelika Hill. Goethe used to sit here on a bench, sometimes with Ulrika von Levetzow, or alone, spending many hours in contemplation here. The obelisk was built in August 1848 to recall Goethe's three sojourns in Mariánské Lázně between 1821 and 1823.

This is a rock promontory above the Ohře River valley on the peak of Šemnické Rocks (644 m high) above the village of Šemnice.

The Central Park is situated in the heart of the city between Masarykova and Hlavni Streets. Here you’ll find a memorial to the Jewish residents of the city who had to flee or were deported before and during World War II. The memorial was unveiled in 2010 on the anniversary of the so-called "Kristallnacht", when the Nazis destroyed synagogues and Jewish buildings in many towns, including Mariánské Lázně. A sculpture called "Four Seasons" by Z. Šimek also adorns the space.
