Tourist Attractions

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.

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.

Františkovy Lázně is the smallest of the towns in the West Bohemian spa triangle puts packs in a lot of charm.

The main space within the gallery, a large room on the first floor, not only serves as an exhibition hall but can also be used as a conference venue, the ideal location for cultural and other events.

On the third floor – the building’s attic - we find another exhibition space which provides a more intimate and inspiring backdrop for displays. Both spaces have wonderful views of the spa park which lends the galleries a very special ambience and enhances the aesthetic experience of the works on display.

The gallery is open every day, tickets can be purchased from the tourist information centre on the ground floor.

The evangelical church was built for evangelical spa guests in 1857 and was funded with donations from German evangelical Christians supported by the Prussian King Friedrich Wilhelm IV. He took part in its consecration 24th June 1857.

This is a natural pine growth area on the southeast slope of Planý Hill with exposed serpentinite rock formations, partly interrupted by a small extinct rock quarry covered by a rare botanical community.

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.

This educational trail leads visitors to four different springs: Jezevčí, Kančí, Liščí I and Liščí II. The trail starts around 1km from Kynžvart spa.
