Tourist Attractions

This dominant lookout point is located on the top of Žižka Hill. The location was named in honour of Prussian King Friedrich Wilhelm IV who laid the foundation stone of the altar in the town's Evangelical Church in June 1857.

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).

The park at the Forest Spring is located in the northern part of the town off Třebízského street. Here you'll find a pavilion containing the Forest Spring, the Goethe and Muse sculpture by German sculptor Heindrich Drake, a memorial stone for the writer Vaclav Václav Beneš Třebízský and a sculpture of three muses by O. Zoubek. Nearby you'll also find a music pavilion used in summer as a cafe and a venue for musical performances.

The director of the local theatre Julius Laska had this chapel built in 1909 in memory of his mother. It is a small, pretty, neo-Gothic building set against a forest backdrop.

One kilometer north of the village of Michalovy Hory, we come across the emergence of carbonated water, one of the best-known acidulous water sources of Slavkovský Forest: Čiperka.

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).

In the park in front of the hotel Krakonoš you can find a trail showcasing traditional fairytale figures. This trail features sandstone statues from famous fairytales.

Beginning at the edge of the town's spa zone, this educational trail presents an overview of the geological characteristics and flora communities found in the Slavkovský Forest.

The first written record of Planá dates back to 1251. The town was founded on an important trade route leading from Nuremberg to Cheb and further on into Bohemia.
