Funicular Diana
Access Diana comfortably and directly from town

The lower station of the funicular is located in Mariánská Street, right next to famous Grandhotel Pupp. From here, this rail funicular will take you directly to the enchantingly beautiful environment under the Diana Lookout Tower every fifteen minutes.

In the approximately five-minute ride through the spa forest, you will overcome a height difference of 167 metres, and attractive views of the slowly receding town below will already open up before you. 
The Lookout Tower, the restaurant, the Butterfly House, and the other attractions of the Diana Excursion Grounds are all located just several dozens of metres from the upper station.

The fare can be paid in cash (only CZK) or by payment card.

Zvažte cestu na Dianu lázeňskými lesy

You can also reach Diana by taking a beautiful walk through the spa forests, where you can observe wild boars, fallow deer, and the like in the game enclosure.

Many trails lead to Diana; for instance, you can discover the oldest settlement in Karlovy Vary, you can take the fun educational trail, and you will see many gazebos and vistas on your way.

Or you can take the funicular up to Diana and then see everything on your walk down :-)
