Königsberg on the Eger: Hotels and Accommodation

One of the town’s distinctive buildings is the Kynšperská branka, a two-storey town gate whose present form dates from the 16th century. The adjoining half-timbered and log-built structure beside the Kynšperská branka once served as a Jewish prayer room.

The Evangelical Church of the Redeemer was completed and consecrated on 8 December 1905 according to plans by the Stuttgart architects Eisenlohr and Weigle. It is an unusually pure example of the Neo-Romanesque style and has been used by the Evangelical Church of the Czech Brethren since 1946.

Archaeological research dates the origins of the presumably rather small Kynšperský hrad castle on Zámecký vrch to the 13th century. The abandoned castle later became a ruin; its masonry was gradually dismantled for building purposes.

The Panský dům is a two-storey Baroque building in the upper part of 5. května Square, the market square. In 1586, the building was constructed as a Renaissance town hall.

The varied terrain around Kynšperk nad Ohří is suitable for hiking, water sports and cycling. The 56-kilometre section of the Cyklostezka Ohře from Cheb via Kynšperk nad Ohří and Sokolov runs through Kynšperk nad Ohří and continues towards Karlovy Vary. It runs mainly along dedicated cycle paths and quiet side roads; most of the route is paved.

The Nad rybníkem Sýkorák educational trail near Kynšperk nad Ohří introduces visitors to the flora and fauna of the forest and pond on the outskirts of the town.

The brewing tradition of Kynšperský pivovar dates back to 1595, when Emperor Rudolf II granted the town of Kynšperk nad Ohří its own brewing rights. Kynšperský pivovar offers tours lasting approximately 40 minutes, including a beer tasting.
