WHERE CAN YOU STRETCH YOUR BODY IN FRANTIŠKOVY LÁZNĚ?

Spas and movement belong together since time immemorial. And this applies double for Františkovy Lázně. Both cyclists and fans of the currently popular running will have a field day here. So will golfers, tennis players, or in-line skaters. If none of the above entices you, then you can always treat yourselves to a walk in the fresh air or have a swim in the local aqua park.

CARDIO TRAILS

Throughout Františkovy Lázně, you will see colourful hearts - trail markers which you can follow on your walk. There are several routes to choose from with lengths spanning from 2.2 to 6.7 km. They serve not only for hiking purposes, but also as a suitable form of supporting the spa treatment, especially the proper functioning of the cardiovascular system.

NORDIC WALKING

Walking with poles is one of the healthiest sports of all, and it naturally engages all the muscles in the body. If you are unsure of how the poles are properly used, you can attend a class with an instructor. You can also rent the poles here in Františkovy Lázně.

RUNNING

Františkovy Lázně provides optimum conditions for both beginners and seasoned runners with its expansive spa parks with flat terrain. There are countless varieties of paths and trails in them, so you will surely not be readily bored. If, however, you are hoping to really go the distance, we recommend the Komorní Hůrka volcanic hill or the Luženský Forest beyond Amerika Pond.

CYCLING

The whole Cheb Region is literally a paradise for cyclists. There are several marked cycle paths here: We should surely mention path No. 23, which leads you around Amerika to Seeberg Castle, or in the opposite direction to Cheb. The backbone cycle path along the Ohře River (No. 6) is also extremely popular, and you can get on it in the village of Tršnice just east of Františkovy Lázně. You can find the bicycle and electric bicycle rental in the Spa Resort Pawlik – Aquaforum.

IN-LINE SKATING

Can you not imagine a holiday without your “in-lines”? Have no fear, feel free to pack your skates when coming here. In Františkovy Lázně, not only will you find flat asphalt routes criss-crossing the parks, but also the skating circuit by Swan Lake. Our hot tip is to try the Wallenstein Trail from Cheb to Waldsassen, which copies the route of the former railway.

TENNIS

The Františkovy Lázně Tennis Club, with its five clay tennis courts, offers all interested parties a place to play. They are found in the pleasant setting of the spa greenery not far from Swan Lake and the club is in operation from May to October. Another option is Tennis Club Cheb, where you can also play on an indoor court.

GOLF

The entire spa triangle is traditionally and inseparably connected with golf. The closest 18-hole course is in Hazlov, in the Františkovy Lázně Golf Resort. It was opened in 2003, has a par of 72, and an overall length of 6,561 m. You can also travel for golf to Mariánské Lázně, Karlovy Vary, Kynžvart, or Sokolov.

SWIMMING

Where to swim in Františkovy Lázně? In Aquaforum aqua park, of course! Several indoor and outdoor pools are available here, including a 25-metre-long swimming pool. It is open daily from 9.00 am to 9.00 pm. In the summer, you can also swim in Amerika Pond or in the Skalka and Jesenice reservoirs.
