Svatošské rocks
These rocks were proclaimed a national landscape monument in 1933. They are found in the valley embracing the Ohře River between Karlovy Vary and Loket. A group of huge granite rocks creates remarkable formations such as a petrified wedding suite, a mining gallery of the Venetians (a grotto) and the ancient settlement of Starý Loket (the primeval settlement on the rock promontory towering above the Ohře River and originated in the middle stone age). The natural trail between Loket and Karlovy Vary’s district Doubí that is 10 km long provides 12 halt places featuring information on geology, archeology, history and botany. The route has gained popularity with cyclists and hikers. The Svatošske Rocks can be accessed from Loket (by bus or train) or from Karlovy Vary’s district Doubí (public transportation bus No. 6). The nature trail can be rode on bike, walked by foot, or conquered by ship going down the Ohře River.
