  • Must to visit place in Karlovy Vary. You can walk all the way up or cheat and use very unique cable lift. I was cheating of course. There is a small fee to be paid and off you go. Observation tower is walking distance from the cable lift station and there is a restaurant with the butterfly farm next to it. Entry to the tower is free of charge and there are steps up and down or lift in the middle. From there you can see the whole town of Karlovy Vary.
  • Nice viewing point of Karlovy Vary. There is a lift that leads to it, but during my visit it wasn't working. There is a restaurant and a souvenir shop next to it, and for the kids a small playground and a butterfly house.
