Tourist Attractions

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.

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.

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.

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

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).

Less than three kilometres from the centre of Mariánské Lázně lies a very precious location in the Slavkovský Forest, the source of the Teplá River.

A composition of typical sub-saturated peat meadows in the Slavkovský Forest close to the serpentinite hill of the Three Crosses at the roadside between Prameny and Nová Ves. Site of the rare swamp willow.

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.

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).

This dominant lookout point is located on the top of Žižka Hill. The location was named in honour of Prussian King Friedrich Wilhelm IV who laid the foundation stone of the altar in the town's Evangelical Church in June 1857.

This is a rock promontory above the Ohře River valley on the peak of Šemnické Rocks (644 m high) above the village of Šemnice.
