diana lookout tower

The tower features view not only on the Karlovy Vary, but also on the surrounding forests and hills. It is best to take the cable car from the bottom of the mountain and after visiting the tower, stroll down through the forest (you can then go and see Jeleni skok). The trip would make interesting two hours.

Near the top station of the Karlovy Vary funicular, this wonderful tower has astonishing views over Karlovy Vary and over the beautiful wooded hills to the west of Karlovy Vary. There's a lift to the top, but f you're feeling energetic you can climb the stairs, watching the view slowly expand as you climb.

We've walked up to here several times as we live close by. There are many ways to come up through the beautiful woodland, with plenty of ornate shelters to investigate. The restaurant at the top is good for a drink or traditional Czech food (and can get very busy). The views from the tower are good, and it's free to ride to the top which I always like. There's also a small animal enclosure with ponies, pigs, goats and peacocks. A baby swing and a play house are next to the animals. It's also possible to ride up on the old funicular and cycle along the ridge and back to the town if you chose to.

Dear Madam,thank you for your review.Diana tourist complex is not closed for winter, but just for 12-19 days during January or February. We have to obey the law of our goverment which says, that every year we are obligated to check the safety of our funicular service (incl. breaks try-out, cable test...). Every year, we use this ´testing break´ also to renovate and enhance our restaurant, out-look tower etc. Concrete dates we are closed because of the mentioned reason are always declared on our official website. We are sorry we have recieved just an average rating from you. Hope to see you back in the future once we´ll be in full service to change your mind about our place. Kind regards, Michael Kucera, manager.

The Diana Tower located on the hill in the forest behind Grandhotel Pupp. You can reach the tower by walking along forest trails or by the funicular. We took one way ticket to reach to the hill near tower and we went back by walk. It was very nice.

We had heard this was the most frequented tourist destination in Karlovy Vary and we understood why. The views are just phenomenal. There are 2 ways one can reach this, either through funicular rail or via a long steep trek. We decided to take the funicular rail while ascending and then could trek down. Once we reached the top i.e. base of Diana tower, there are a set of spiralling stairs that took us right up there. It has a 360 degree view and is quite beautiful. Some say you can see Germany from up there but am not sure of that. At the base, there is a store that sells drinks and merchandise for interested travellers. Must visit.

A nice view from the tower. We hiked up, then took the cog railway down. There is a tiny zoo behind the restaurant, too. The restaurant itself was too crowded, and we didn't want to wait for a table, so there isn't much I can say.

It's not really much architecturally, but you get great views of the forest and surround Karlovy Vary.

Nothing special with this place , also but cafeteria up there and rude people working on teleferic. Everywhere Russians steering on you!

Away from whatever crowds Karlovy Vary could ever have, this fun ride up the hill to a lookout tower with gorgeous views followed by a special drink or food in the neighboring restaurant. Must do it all.

This is one of the best trips you can make in Karlovy Vary. Take the cable car from Pupp Hotel, eat in the restaurant on the top of the hill, look at the mini-zoo behind and then climb the tower (or take the elevator!). For small price you get wonderful views on the city and surroundings. And you can take one of the many walks to go back down to the downtown.

The ride up and down on the funicular was interesting. The views from the top of the tower were quite good. The mini-zoo was quite fun, with peacocks, ponies , baby goats and pigs. Not worth doing on a foggy day, and not worth attempting if you are afraid of heights, but if you have a spare couple of hours, give it a try!

In general it was pretty good, but we didn't see the city from tower because of fog. And also the microscope didn't work.

The lady who is working in the ticket office is not nice. However, it is her problem, don' t be upset as her unfriendly. If having enough time, go there to have a cup of hot chocolate in a cafe as there are 2 lovely peacocks near the window.
