Karlovy Vary / Karlsbad
by globetrott
In 1348 Kaiser Karl IV was hunting in that area and found the healthy hot wells, because one of his hunting-dogs burnt hs feet in the hot wells-
In 1370 Karlsbad was granted the " rights of a town " by the emperor, who was a guest here many times, followed by hundreds of celebrities over the following centuries:
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, Mozart, Tsar Peter the Great,Ludwig van Beethoven,Antonin Dvorak, Frederic Chopin, Franz Liszt and a lot more...
...like Globetrott in july 14th, 2003 - as you may easily see on the "flower-calendar"
Forest Hill
by tophat30
Just at the foot of the downhill winding road to Karlovy vary , there's a forest hill with a leading pathway. You'll take about an hour to reach the top. Along the way you'll see monuments among the very tall trees. One of them is called "jeleni skok" which means the dear jump. At the top of the hill you'll get the best panoramic views of Karlovy Vary and the surrounding forests.
What a great cinema
by globetrott
Take a closer look at this facade with it's great ornaments and the beautiful small roof constructed over the entrance and also decorated in the most beautiful way.
It ws once constructed as a theatre, but today it is obviously used as a cinema, according to the signs.
Karlovy Vary
by Nykaenen
I visited Karlovy Vary aka Carlsbad twice, each time on a 1-day trip.
Karlovy Vary attract lot of tourists like me who come just for a day to enjoy architecture and fresh air.
Others usually come to stay the whole week or longer - Karlovy Vary,
as you probably know by now, are a very famous spa resort!
I was very lucky with the weather both times as evident from the above photo.
Don't know if weather is always that pleasant, but even if it be cloudy or rainy, you can be
at little loss with all the mineral water springs, colonades, swimming pools…
