Svatošské Skály rock formations

Highlight • Natural Monument

Small, narrow swaying wooden bridge over the Eger 😅 ... on warm summer days with many bikers and hikers ... there is a bit of traffic jam and you should allow for a few minutes of waiting time 😉.

Highlight • Bridge

Great way along the Eger. From Loket you can borrow canoes and the river Eger downstream to Karlovy Vary. There you can drop the canoe again

There is also a restaurant at the suspension bridge. Good value …
