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.

September 21, 2023,Wanderung zum Goethe Aussichtsturm 🇨🇿

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.😭
