Discover Lázně Kynžvart

Lázně Kynžvart combines extensive parkland, the spa park with the Richard spring and prominent reminders of the town’s history. If you would like to combine nature experiences and culture on your trip, you will find a range of points of interest here: from the freely accessible Castle Park, springs and the spa park to the castle ruins above the town.

Castle Park and Spa Park: Landscape with Special Details

Kynžvart Castle Park is an extensive English landscape park covering an area of 293 hectares. Of this, 245 hectares are managed by the castle. The park can be visited independently all year round and throughout the day. A special discovery is the 1.3-kilometre-long bat nature trail, designed as a virtual game for mobile devices. This adds an extra layer of experience to a walk through the park, which you can explore independently of a guided tour.

The Kynžvartské kyselky nature trail also has its own distinctive features. It is located in the Slavkovský les Protected Landscape Area and begins 1.5 kilometres southeast of Lázně Kynžvart on a side road towards Valy. Its highlights include the Liščí springs, enclosed by two square wooden structures. You can draw water from another spring, Richard, at the drinking pavilion in the middle of the spa park. When planning your trip, you can therefore consider an extended stay in the park, a nature trail and the atmosphere of the spa park as different ideas for things to do.

Castle, Church and Castle Ruins

Kynžvart Castle is a Neoclassical summer residence associated with the Metternich family. In the lower part of the park stands the Marian Column, with a stone Madonna and Child. The Baroque statue dates from 1709. The parish church of St Margaret reveals a later chapter in the town’s history: after the fire of 1865, it was rebuilt and consecrated in 1870.

The romantic ruins of Kynžvart Castle lie above the town. The best way to reach them is on foot via a forest path. This excursion is distinctly different from a visit to the park and offers another opportunity to combine exploring the surroundings with a walk. You can therefore consider historical destinations, the landscape and the paths separately when planning your day.
