This time the tour with a view of Karlovy Vary from the other side of the river. The views are no less spectacular. Unfortunately the Goethe Tower was closed.

Take the tunnel railway up to the Hotel Imperial. Unfortunately there is no option for a drink outside. So we start the sometimes steep climb to the Goethe observation tower. The neo-Gothic brick tower stands at an altitude of 638 meters above sea level. The wonderful restaurant is unfortunately closed.😭
