Tourist Attractions
Barren Hill - Planý vrch
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.

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.

Charles Cross - Karlův kříž
The cross stands above the town's market hall. This is an authentic historic attraction visited by many prominent personalities who were eager to take in the view of the valley that Mariánské Lázně occupies..

Čiperka
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.

Ferdinand Spring Colonnade
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.

Wetland below Vlček - Mokřady pod Vlčkem
You won't find a single place in the entire Slavkovský Forest that suffers a lack of moisture. Often in times when wandering through the woods you might find yourself endlessly jumping over creeks and little streams as well as extensive wetlands.

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.

Loket Castle
Loket is a very old town with a castle of the same name. Both rise above the valley of the Ohře River between Karlovy Vary and Sokolov.

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.

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

Teplá River Valley - Údolí Teplé
The Teplá River between Bečov and Loutnový, connects the sections of the Otročínský, Pramenský and Mnichovský Creek, about 8-16 km north-northeast of Mariánské Lázně.

Mnichovské Hadce Educational Trail
Around Křížky, and more generally in the area between Prameny and Mnichov, you’ll find one of the most interesting natural areas in the Slavovský Forest. The newly-created educational trail introduces visitors to the largest serpentinite complex in Bohemia as well as one of the most interesting areas in the central part of the Slavkovský Forest protected area.
