Wonderful little town on the Eger - it's worth a stop.

The Church of St. Wolfgang was a late Gothic building from the years 1470 to 1478, which was demolished in 1721 down to a few walls and rebuilt in Baroque style. The various owners of the castle used the church as a burial place, especially in the 16th and 17th centuries. The church no longer has a tower. The first on the west side burned down in 1722 after a lightning strike, its successor collapsed in 1804 and was no longer replaced. During the communist era, the church fell into disrepair; the interior furnishings were looted or devastated. An association of citizens founded in 2007 takes care of the maintenance and preservation of the building and its remaining inventory. Today, cultural events are offered here. The church is dedicated to Saint Wolfgang of Regensburg, which is to be understood as a reference to the Diocese of Regensburg.

This free-standing pedestrian bridge spans the Slatinný Potok stream, 25 metres above the deeply incised valley. Although it looks quite dilapidated, the bridge, which is sixty years old in its current state, is still completely safe. The bridge shortened the burghers' way to church and connected the two parts of the municipality. Originally, it was a low wooden bridge with statues of saints. However, this was washed away by a flood in 1889. In 1899, the burghers had a new bridge built, this time with high stone pillars and a wooden plank walkway. In the 1960s, these planks were replaced by reinforced concrete.

The history of Seeberg (Czech: Ostroh) dates back to the Bronze Age. Seeberg Castle was built around the year 1200 as the seat of one of the ministers from Eger on the site of a much older hillfort. The castle was first mentioned in writing in 1322 as part of the property that Ludwig IV of Bavaria pawned to King John of Luxembourg. Over the centuries, it had numerous owners and experienced devastating events, including the Swedish conquest in 1648 during the Thirty Years' War. Since 1990, the castle has been accessible to the public after reconstruction by the City Museum in Františkovy Lázně in the 1970s. Guided tours through exhibitions on various topics are offered. The divided castle sits enthroned on a rocky outcrop above the Slatinný stream. The forecourt is built with half-timbered houses from the 18th century. In the castle core, a Romanesque wall with a gate is partially preserved.

The old town of Carlsbad is a real highlight for any Komoot tour – history meets pure postcard aesthetics here. 🎨 Colorful Art Nouveau facades nestle along the Teplá, with magnificent colonnades, small cafés, and bubbling thermal springs in between. While strolling through the winding alleys, you constantly discover new perspectives and photo spots – the views from the bridges or slightly elevated paths are particularly spectacular. 💡 **Tip:** Take time to linger instead of just passing through. Early in the morning or in the evening, the atmosphere is at its best – less hustle and bustle, soft light, and an almost magical tranquility. Ideal for connoisseurs, photo fans, and anyone who likes to soak up a bit of spa town flair on the go.
