- If you wish to combine a ride on the funicular with a walk through the spa forests, this trail will take you from Diana back down to the place where you got on the funicular.
- So, in an approximately 20 to 25 minute-walk, you will again find yourself close to your hotel or to the parking lot with your vehicle.
- On the way, you will be amazed by the breathtaking views of Karlovy Vary.
- Because of the trail’s profile, which includes perceptible descents and unpaved surfaces, we recommend this trail rather for more experienced hikers with sturdy footwear.
