Tourist Attractions

This tower was named after Hamelika Hill on which it stands.

'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 three crosses were erected here as a symbol of gratitude by spa patient who had been cured of their ailment in 1859. Endemite cerastium alsinifolium grows here, a plant not found anywhere else in the world. For this reason, entrance into the territory of the reservation is strictly prohibited.

As you enter the beautiful park in Mariánské Lázně - Úšovice, you will see the Ferdinand Spring Colonnade (Kolonáda Ferdinandova pramene). Like other local colonnades, this one was also built at the instigation of the Abbot of the Teplá Monastery in 1827.

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

White foamy crusts decorate several smaller water surfaces of grass-grown glades on the right bank of the Teplá River.

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

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.
