Tachov District: Hotels and Accommodation

The Stříbro Open-Air Mining Museum presents more than 800 years of mining history and includes an accessible 700-metre-long tunnel. This is suitable for a trip focused on mining history. Anyone wishing to book a hotel in Tachov District can continue searching for accommodation afterwards.

Nature and Landscape

The Český les Protected Landscape Area combines border forests with pastures, meadows, wetlands, open scrubland and peatlands. In Tachov District, the Mže Valley is a deep recreational landscape that is gorge-like in places.

The walk along the Kosí potok leads to the Čertovce rock formation and a forest waterfall that falls into a deep gorge. The Kosový potok forms a canyon-like landscape within a designated nature park.

Havran is the highest peak in the Tachov region and has a reconstructed observation tower.

Hiking and Cycling

Hiking and cycling trails run through tranquil border landscapes in the Český les Protected Landscape Area. This is of interest to travellers who wish to experience nature on foot or by bicycle.

The Skalní Defilé educational trail follows the Mže Valley to a viewpoint on a spilite ridge. It is 1.6 kilometres long and ends with a panorama of the valley from Svojšín.

The Hradišťský vrch educational trail is approximately 5.5 kilometres long and takes about two to three hours. It connects a nature reserve with a partially flooded quarry that serves as a natural swimming area.

The Dětský cykloráj route around Konstantinovy Lázně is designed for families, permits use with inline skates and includes a forest park with play and exercise facilities. The route is accessible by train and uses local, road and tourist cycling route markings.

A network of cycling routes around Havran crosses both the Czech and German sides of the border. The Rychta facility in Tachov offers parking and changing facilities; from there, nearby cycling and hiking trails can be accessed.

Culture and History

At the Mining Museum, the visitor tunnel is almost fully accessible; only three steps have to be negotiated, and these can be managed with a pram or wheelchair.

Gutštejn is a 14th-century castle ruin in the wooded Hadovka Valley south of Konstantinovy Lázně.

Svojšín Chateau has a French garden, restored interiors, a portrait gallery of the owners and an exhibition on history.

The Stříbro Town Museum is housed in a former Minorite monastery and covers local crafts, military history and folk woodcarving.

Water and Brewing Culture

Konstantinovy Lázně is home to the Prusík Spring Pavilion; the mineral water is rich in carbon dioxide.

The historic cellars of Chodovar are carved into granite and date from the 14th century. The Ve Skále restaurant is located in these historic cellars.

Chodovar is described as the oldest brewery in West Bohemia. Brewery tours include the malt house, brewhouse, open fermentation room and a beer tasting.

The beer spa in Chodová Planá uses a bath heated to 34 °C with Ilsano mineral water, dark bathing beer, live brewer's yeast, hop dregs and crushed herbs.
