Myslivna (Gamekeeper's Lodge) Sanatorium
The Myslivna (Gamekeeper's Lodge) Sanatorium is an interesting structure namely due to its traditional half-timbered brickwork, verandas, and spires. It is one of the few preserved buildings of its kind. At present, it serves as a spa facility for the Ministry of the Interior.
The walking tour ends near the Orthodox Church of Saint Peter and Paul. The church was constructed according to the design of builder G. Wiedermann from Františkovy Lázně (Franzensbad) between the years 1893 and 1898. Its building was financed from the funds raised among Russian spa guests.
