Small tunnel that runs under the city directly below the entrance.

James the Greater (the Latin 'major' is not translated as 'great' in English), to whom this church/chapel in ___ was dedicated, belongs, together with his brother, to the closest circle of Jesus' disciples. In his version of the "Good News" (this is the meaning of the word "gospel"), the Evangelist Mark enumerates a list of the apostles: "James, the son of Zebedee, and John, the brother of James—to whom he called the Boanerges, which means sons of thunder" (Mark 3:17). They are said to have had very temperamental characters, but were faithful followers of Jesus Christ, in whom they recognized the promised Messiah. According to the Acts of the Apostles, James was executed for his faith. His tomb in Santiago de Compostela, Galicia (Spain), is one of the most famous and important pilgrimage destinations in the world.

Today we were in Ellenbogen, which is beyond description beautiful and can be viewed from all sides as a landscape work of art. 01.07.1807 J.W.Goethe How right he was👍

A visit to the old town of Sokolov is also worthwhile.

The bridge leads over the Ohře river, the main road and the railway line. It connects the Antonín Arboretum park with Lake Medard.

The old town mile is actually called "Old Square" (Staré námesti) and is the historical centre of Sokolov. At the eastern end you will find the Church of St. James the Greater, at the western end the Church of the Franciscan Monastery, which is dedicated to St. Anthony of Padua. In between are the Old Town Hall and the Marian Column, as well as the Jubilee Fountain and the Falconer's Fountain. And of course lots of shops, cafés and restaurants.

The original old church from the 13th century (probably a simple and plain building) was destroyed by the Saxon army in May 1632. The new building around the still preserved torso of the tower, which began shortly afterwards, was in the Renaissance style, and another reconstruction in 1680/1681 under Jan Hartvik Nostice (builder of the castle and monastery) in the Baroque style. Originally a deanery church, St. James was elevated to the status of an archdeaconry church in 1672. The Baroque church is a single-nave church with a tower, which was built using forced labor by serfs. The interior of the church is mostly Baroque. Towards the end of the Second World War, an aerial bomb hit not far from the Eger Bridge. The blast wave destroyed all the church windows except one: the stained glass window of the Sacred Heart of Jesus behind the main altar above the statue of St. James, the patron saint of the church.

The name Sokolov, originally Valkenowe, first appears in a document from 1279. The legend of the town's founding takes place at the time of the Crusades. Knight Sebastián, returning from the Crusades in the Holy Land, found only a burnt ruin and the overgrown grave of his wife instead of his castle near Cheb. He left the place that reminded him of the loss of his loved ones, walked along the river and built a hut at the confluence of the Ohře and Svatava to live there in seclusion. The lords of the castle from Loket often came to this area to hunt with their trained falcons. Knight Sebastián (popularly known as Wastl) was also a good falconer, which is why his skills quickly became very sought after. A settlement soon grew up around the hermit's hut, where hunting falcons were bred and trained. It was named after the birds: Valkenowe, later Sokolov. The falcon became the city’s heraldic animal.
