Tourist Attractions

Its beauty and serenity made this place a favourite with the Abbot Alfréd Clements of Teplá. A simple wooden bench stood here where the dignitary often used to sit. During his time as Abbot, Mariánské Lázně experienced the largest building boom of its early development (1888–1900).

This is a gazebo situated on a plateau above a boulder outcrop at the Royal Hotel where a decorated wooden structure originally stood. The building was inaugurated in 1850 in honour of an important guest to Mariánské Lázně - the Czech proconsul, Baron von Mescery.

Friedrich’s Stone is the name given to a naturally occurring mound of coarse granite boulders that stand in a location known as ‘Little Switzerland’ (Malé Švýcarsko).

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

Kynžvart Kámen is one of the lesser known natural monuments of Slavkovský Forest. It’s located not far from the old route connecting the train station of Lázně Kynžvart with the town itself, north of Luční Pond.

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.

Preserved pinewood on a serpentinite subsoil between Prameny and Sítina, this is a typical example of original forest pine growth (vogtland upland ecotype) on serpentinite.

"Skalnikovy sady" park dominates the town and is one of the most popular among tourists. It was created at the end of the 19th century at the same time as the town.

Loket is a very old town with a castle of the same name. Both rise above the valley of the Ohře River between Karlovy Vary and Sokolov.

The name comes from a distinguished visitor to the town, the Bavarian Queen Karola. This is a lookout pavilion built in 1875 on the hillside between the Forest Spring and the local cemetery (above today's car park).
