Very beautifully designed artwork, shortly before the Ferdinand Quelle.

The probably once purely wooden structure has already been painted or labeled with text by many people on individual struts. On the one hand, of course, the artwork is no longer as pure as intended, on the other hand, the colors in particular give a possible new quality.

A magnificent, well-maintained palace called Königswart. Renovated in 2001, the building was originally built in 1690 and remodeled in the Empire style for Prince Metternich in the 1930s. Today, it houses a museum and a café. A hotel and restaurant have been built in the adjacent buildings.

For those who love such buildings, Teplá Monastery is something special; there is a lot to discover and marvel at if you have an eye for it.

Virtually nothing reliable is known about the life of Saint George, to whom the church in Bečov was dedicated, but veneration of him stretches back to early Christianity. A martyr identified with George is said to have lived in the third century. The legend of Saint George as the dragon slayer, however, is quite well known and widespread; he is often depicted – in paintings or statues – as the conqueror of the monster, often as a knight on horseback. The feast day of the highly popular Saint George – he is, among other things, the patron saint of the English kingdom – in the calendar of saints is April 23rd.

Located in the middle of the forest, hikers and walkers unexpectedly encounter a place of encounter with God – known as "Kaplička Lasky." This small but very pretty chapel was built in the neo-Gothic style and rises majestically against the backdrop of the trees. The apse inside is dominated by the statue of the Pieta, the name of which refers to the depiction of the grieving Virgin Mary holding the lifeless body of her son, Jesus Christ, on her lap.
