Tourist Attractions

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.

The Anglican Church is the work of London architect William Burges and was built in 1879 by Friedrich Zickler.

Karlovy Vary is a popular spa resort named after its founder, Emperor Charles IV. Legend has it that Charles discovered the hot springs while chasing a stag.

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.

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 name comes from a distinguished visitor to the town, the Bavarian Queen Karola. This is a lookout pavilion built in 1875 on the hillside between the Forest Spring and the local cemetery (above today's car park).

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

The park at the Forest Spring is located in the northern part of the town off Třebízského street. Here you'll find a pavilion containing the Forest Spring, the Goethe and Muse sculpture by German sculptor Heindrich Drake, a memorial stone for the writer Vaclav Václav Beneš Třebízský and a sculpture of three muses by O. Zoubek. Nearby you'll also find a music pavilion used in summer as a cafe and a venue for musical performances.

This is a gazebo situated on a plateau above a boulder outcrop at the Royal Hotel where a decorated wooden structure originally stood. The building was inaugurated in 1850 in honour of an important guest to Mariánské Lázně - the Czech proconsul, Baron von Mescery.

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.

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.

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.
