The local experience
The Mlýnská Colonnade lines Karlovy Vary’s spa quarter near the Teplá river. The sequence of stone columns forms a covered promenade that houses mineral springs. The building is part of the urban landscape of treatments and walks that characterizes the town.
The Hot Spring Colonnade houses the Vřídlo area, a landmark of Karlovy Vary’s spa activity. The modern building contrasts with the valley’s historic facades. The site presents the mineral water as a central element of the town, not as the backdrop for a leisure pool.
Loket Castle occupies a hilltop encircled by a bend of the Ohře river. The stone complex dominates the small town and adds medieval architecture to a trip through the spa region. Its siting on the rock is part of the interest, visible even before entering.
The mining landscape of Jáchymov is part of the heritage of the Erzgebirge/Krušnohoří mining region. North of Karlovy Vary, the town and its surroundings preserve references to silver extraction and mountain labor. The walk allows you to relate the urban core to the mining territory.
