Ore Mountains: Karlovy Vary, Sauersack Mystery & Wetlands

Discover the elegance of Karlovy Vary, the mystery of the Sauersack ruins, and the beauty of the Mountain Wetlands of Rolava on a day trip from Prague.
Begin your journey with a comfortable minivan ride from central Prague. As you travel, your guide will introduce the day’s plan and share historical background about the Ore Mountains region.

Arrive in Karlovy Vary and enjoy a relaxed walking tour through the elegant spa town. Stroll through colonnades, see mineral springs, admire stunning architecture, and hear stories of the town’s famous guests.

After the tour, enjoy free time to explore on your own. Savor a coffee, taste the spa wafers, browse for souvenirs, or simply soak in the atmosphere. Then, enjoy a hearty Czech meal at a traditional restaurant in the city center.

Next, take a scenic drive through the Ore Mountains to a remote and forgotten industrial site. Visit the Sauersack ruins, an abandoned WWII-era tin processing factory and former POW camp hidden deep in the forest. Hear stories of both the site's dark history and its quiet transformation.

Finally, take a peaceful circular boardwalk hike through the Mountain Wetlands of Rolava. Walk through alpine wetlands, mossy ponds, and dwarf mountain pines in a nature sanctuary in the heart of the mountains.
