Egerwarte Viewpoint Pavilion

Highlight • Viewpoint

The Egerwarte is an Empire viewing pavilion above the reservoir. The view used to be very wide. Over time, the trees grew taller and the view is now only limited to the valley with the reservoir.

Already 500 years ago people discovered the healing properties of the local springs. However, the spa town was only founded at the end of the 18th century by the Austrian Emperor Franz I and named after him. During its heyday, many famous people lived in the city, including Johann Strauss, Prince Metternich, Franz Kafka and the world-famous composer Ludwig van Beethoven.

Incidentally, the world's first mud bath was founded in Františkovy Lázně.

Gateway to the Earth's Interior Themed Trail

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

Very nice uneven section of the path through the forest directly on the slope over hill and dale with many views of the Skalka and an interesting little educational trail.

Skalka Reservoir Dam

Highlight • Monument

The Skalka Dam (Vodní nádrž Skalka) is located west of the city of Cheb in the Czech Republic. It damms the Eger. It was built between 1962 and 1964 to ensure the drinking water supply for the city of Cheb and also flood protection. The Horka dam took over the function of a drinking water reservoir from 1969 onwards. Since then, Skalka has served as a water storage tank for industry in the Cheb area and was released for recreational purposes. The Skalka and Jesenice waterworks form a common water management system. The dam is located at the southern foot of the Spitalsky vrch (Spittelberg) in the western city of Cheb and has a height of 14.6 meters. The top of the dam is 114 meters long and four meters wide. The dam holds 13.66 million cubic meters of water (13.66 billion liters), and its reservoir extends over 9.2 kilometers to the German border.
