    Deer jump (Jelení skok)

    The ledge is the place from which, according to legend, a deer jumped, which was hunted here by Charles IV's entourage. The stag fell into a pool of hot water (today's hot spring), the healing effects of which Charles IV tested on himself. Then he ordered the area around the spring to be settled, which happened, and according to legend, this is how the Karlovy Vary spa came into being. In 1851 the city council wanted to have a statue of a deer erected here, but the initiative was taken by the rebellious Baron August von Lützow, who insisted that only a chamois could have mastered such an area. Therefore, instead of a deer, he had a chamois statue erected here, which became the symbol of Karlovy Vary.

      Great views of the city, must be seen, especially at sunrise or sunset

        In the immediate vicinity of Karlovy Vary's boulevard you can enjoy a wonderful view over a relatively steep slope in the forest.
