The district Cheb is rich in natural resources,
historical and cultural sights, and natural diversity:
there are about 210 mineral springs, out of which about
53 is used as curative springs in spa treatment. This
area is unique particularly for the numerous springs and
its different chemical composition concentrated in a
quite small area. Near the town Františkovy Lázně you
should not miss the extraordinary place – the SOOS
national nature reservation, which is a living example
of marsh volcanoes and gaseous springs. Other attractive
places of interests are the town Cheb with its castle,
the castle Seeberg, the chateau Kynžvart, spa towns
Mariánské Lázně, Františkovy Lázně, and many others. |

It is worth to visit folk architecture in villages
Doubrava u Lipové and Nový Drahov, which were declared
village landmark reservations in 1995. It is an
outstanding example of the original folk architecture of
the Cheb district, and boasts the oldest perfectly
preserved 18th-century half-timbered farm complex. This
houses an exhibition of agricultural tools and
equipment, and local furniture. |
