Hiking trails

What to do in your leisure time in Karlovy Vary? We recommend especially walks into the countryside. They are like soft balsam for the soul in these hurried and busy times. The walks make part of the spa curative stays and are prescribed by the spa doctors to their patients as further spa treatment. The traveler Humboldt wrote that the “forests of Karlovy Vary are the nicest natural park in Europe”. In all cases, the forests of Karlovy Vary also cure: through their beauty and silence they help the springs which heal hundred meters lower.

Net of forest paths began to grow mainly in romanticism as the nature was found again by the people. Glory of paths culminated in 19th/20th century, in the times of first view-towers, forest restaurants and tourist clubs. They have not lost their charm up to the present days. They are waiting for you.
