The covered wooden bridge over the Ohře, designed according to a historical model, allows pedestrians and cyclists to get from the city to the Krajinka sports and leisure area. It was also a main access point to the Marktredwitz-Cheb State Garden Show in 2006, the first Bavarian State Garden Show to be organized across the border with the Czech neighbors.

Cheb Castle

Highlight • Castle

Cheb Castle is unique among Bohemian castles. The complex on a rocky spur above the Eger is the only Hohenstaufen imperial palace on Czech soil. The castle is shrouded in history and legend and numerous significant events are associated with its history. Emperor Friedrich Barbarossa visited the castle repeatedly, held imperial days here and even stayed here shortly before his third crusade, during which he unexpectedly died. Every real castle also has its ghost, and Cheb Castle is no different: Wallenstein's last loyal followers, who were murdered here on the evening of February 25, 1634, have been dying here in desperation at night for centuries. The castle is only open from November to March on Saturdays and Sundays from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., the rest of the year every day except Mondays from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., and in June, July and August until 6 p.m.

The Cheb market square has been the center of city life for hundreds of years. It is called “King George of Poděbrad Square” (Náměsti Krále Jiřího z Poděbrad). This king, who ruled from 1458 to 1471, is little known, but was actually a visionary of European unification and of far greater importance to the city than the famous Duke Albrecht of Wallenstein, who was murdered in a house on this site in 1634. For George from Poděbrady, Eger was probably the most important city in Bohemia after Prague; he resided at Eger Castle four times. In 1462, the king drew up the first European peace plan: the continent was to be united with a confederation of states. In 1960 a monument was erected to him here at the “Scharfen Eck” at the tourist information center. The real landmark of the market square, whose structure dates back to the 13th century, is a group of houses whose core dates back to the late Gothic period, the Cheb Stöckl (Špalíček).
