Svatošské Skály rock formations

Highlight • Natural Monument

Small, narrow swaying wooden bridge over the Eger 😅 ... on warm summer days with many bikers and hikers ... there is a bit of traffic jam and you should allow for a few minutes of waiting time 😉.

Great way along the Eger. From Loket you can borrow canoes and the river Eger downstream to Karlovy Vary. There you can drop the canoe again

Today we visited Loket Castle
(Czech Hrad Loket, German Burg Elbogen),
🏰Romanesque-Gothic castle,
the first written mention of Loket dates back to 1234.


The castle and town of Loket are located
on a granite hill within an almost circular loop of the river Eger 🌊

The route is a great mix of city, forest, river and several beer gardens.

There is also a restaurant at the suspension bridge. Good value …
