Diana Funicular Railway

Highlight • Structure

The top station of the Diana funicular (Vrchní zastávka lanovky Diana) is at an altitude of 556 meters. The line was opened on August 5, 1908. It starts at the Old Meadow (Stará louka) station near the Grand Hotel Pupp at 389 meters and leads to the Friendship Heights, where the Diana observation tower is located. It overcomes the 167 meter difference in altitude over a distance of 437 meters. The maximum gradient is 43.23 percent, the average is 39.81 percent. It runs every 15 minutes and takes four minutes to complete a journey. The uphill and downhill carriages meet at the middle station. The line has been renovated three times, most recently between 1984 and 1988.

Diana Observation Tower

Highlight • Viewpoint

The 40-meter-high Diana observation tower has stood on the 556-meter-high summit of the Freundschaftshöhe since 1914. It was built at the same time as the funicular railway. From the beginning, it was equipped with an electric elevator to save visitors from having to climb the 150 steps. No matter how you get to the observation platform, the view from up here of Karlovy Vary and the surrounding towns and forests is fantastic. You can see all the way to the Ore Mountains.

Mayer's Gloriette Viewpoint (Deer Leap Viewpoint)

Highlight • Viewpoint

The Gloriette von Mayer or Maier, also known as the Deer Leap Viewpoint, is one of the oldest lookout points in Karlovy Vary. It was built in 1804 on a rocky promontory west of the city center. It offers a view of Theater Square and the opposite hill with the Imperial Hotel.

Jelení Skok (Chamois Statue)

Highlight • Viewpoint

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.
