Tourist Attractions

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

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).

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.

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.

This educational trail leads visitors to four different springs: Jezevčí, Kančí, Liščí I and Liščí II. The trail starts around 1km from Kynžvart spa.

The Bečov Castle was founded in the 13th century by the Lords of Osek who owned the surrounding estates for almost 200 years.
