You can take the funicular railway or take a beautiful walk through the forest to get here. The funicular costs 100 Kč to the top station, or 150 Kč for a round trip ticket. There is a café and hunting lodge-style restaurant serving Czech cuisine as well as a small zoo. Animals including piglets and peacocks roam adjacent to the building.

Local history.
Very close to the Russian embassy and the Orthodox Church and at the start of some woodland walks.
Built in 1897. Five golden domes and colourful exterior were modelled on the Byzantine Church of the Holy Trinity near Moscow. The interior of the church is decorated with paintings and icons, gifts of wealthy Russian aristocrats. One of the decorations is a relief representing Russian Tsar Peter the Great.
Beautiful spa building that housed Franz Josef's baths (he did not visit however) and also used for the casino setting in Casino Royale. The building is being restored after a period of closure to become a cultural centre. There is a small exhibition which also gives you a quick peek around the main entrance halls and stairways.
Anglican church.
Vřídelní kolonáda
Spring that spurts 2000 litres of water per minute in a 14-m jet. The modernist hall was designed by Jaroslav Otruba and replaced an earlier traditional colonnade, derelict after the war. It has a number of small fountains for visitors to take the waters, plus exhibition spaces, a cafe and tours of the underground.
