Tourist Attractions

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

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

Visitors can find the Waldstein Monument behind the headquarters of the Mariánské Lázně spa company. It was built in 1836 in honor of an illustrious visitor Earl Ernest von Waldstein-Wartenberg.

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.

Put on your dancing shoes and get ready to groove in D-Club. In Addition to classic weekend dance parties you can party here with leading Czech and Slovak dance, pop and rap artists.

"Skalnikovy sady" park dominates the town and is one of the most popular among tourists. It was created at the end of the 19th century at the same time as the town.

The House of Nature is the Slavkovský Forest visitor centre located in the village of Kladska. The centre focuses on the natural and cultural highlights of Slavkovsky Forest Protected Landscape Area. This is a joint project between the State Forest Agency and the Nature Conservation Agency of the Czech Republic.

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.

'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.

Friedrich’s Stone is the name given to a naturally occurring mound of coarse granite boulders that stand in a location known as ‘Little Switzerland’ (Malé Švýcarsko).

Komorní Hůrka is our youngest volcano – it was known to be active around 850,000 years ago, with some evidence suggesting it only became dormant as recently as 350,000 years ago.

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