'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.

The small town of Chodová Planá is best known for the Chodovar Brewery, the oldest in West Bohemia.

About two kilometers south-southeast from the town of Bečov Nad Teplou, not far from the road to Chodov, is a natural monument. It was established to protect the rock formations made of basalt chimney formation with typical column cleats.

A small, intimate town nestled on the edge of a beautiful forested area, Lázně Kynžvart was founded in 1214 and boasts an impressive past.

The Bečov Castle was founded in the 13th century by the Lords of Osek who owned the surrounding estates for almost 200 years.

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.

In the Town Museum, you can every month look forward to a new exhibition.

Less than three kilometres from the centre of Mariánské Lázně lies a very precious location in the Slavkovský Forest, the source of the Teplá River.
