Tourist Attractions
Smraďoch
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.

Bag of Flour - Moučné pytle
The Moučné Pytle natural monument is located on Jelení Hill (644 meters high) on the green marked trail from Karlovy Vary to Horní Slavkov, about 1 km from the Bor gamekeeper’s lodge.

The Kladruby Monastery
The former Benedictine Monastery of Kladruby, an important historical site, looms over the valley of the Úhlavka River.

Evangelical Church of Corpus Christi
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.

Cheb
Straddling the Ohře River, Cheb is the westernmost major town in the Czech Republic

Laska Chapel
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.

Jewish cemetery
A Jewish enclave existed in Mariánské Lázně from around 1824 and by 1861 it had its own hospital with a small chapel. The Jewish cemetery close to the road to Velká Hleďsebe was founded in 1875. By 1930 it had been extended and is still used today.

Alpine Hill - Podhorní vrch
Located near Ovesné Kladruby, the highest peak of the Tepelský flatland, a remnant of tertiary volcanic activity with significant geomorphological phenomena.

Pilsen
The largest city in Western Bohemia was established at the confluence of four rivers - the Úhlava, Úslava, Mže and Radbuza - which all flow together here to create the River Berounka.

Hirtenruhe
An elegant one-storey tower used to stand here. It was erected in 1847 but the surrounding forests had overgrown it by 1879. Only a sign now gives any indication the buidling once stood here.

Planá u Mariánských Lázní
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.

Kynžvart Rock - Kynžvartský kámen
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.
