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 😉.

August 20, 2024,Von Fischern nach Karlsbad

From Fischern to Karlovy Vary, always on the Eurovelo 4 along the Eger. Short detours to the market in Eger, to Sokolov, to the cafe in Loket (can be done better, please take the road up to the town!!) and then to Karlovy Vary directly to the Sprudel Kolonade.
A really great cycle path, mostly on tarmac, otherwise good forest …

I haven't ridden as flat as today for a long time. With a strong headwind. It went along the Eger, mostly on paved bike paths. In the enchanting town of Loket I walked for a long time. Loket is built on a high rock in a loop of the Eger and is really worth seeing. After that, upstream, the valley …

The way back was even more spectacular than the way there. Beautiful view over Karlovy Vary, great bike path over Loket with its impressive castle.

Arriving at the train station in Karlovy Vary, walk up the promenade to the Hotel Pupp. Hidden away in a small side street is the station for the funicular up to the Diana Tower or theFreundeshöhe - very tedious by bike because there are many stairs to overcome. But it was worth it, the descent into the valley of the …

Little Franz and the bubbling springs near Soos were the beginning of a dream stage. The path along the Eger River is fantastic! 🤩

The route goes (after you have to drive the first km on main and side roads) following a beautiful cycle path along the Eger.
Karlovy Vary is beautifully renovated with a great old town.
One night was not enough.
