Cheb District

Cheb District is an administrative district in the Karlovy Vary Region that covers both hilly and flat terrain. It contains ten towns, including Cheb itself, Mariánské Lázně, and Františkovy Lázně near the German border.

The district gained importance in the 13th century as a strategic trade hub between Central Europe and the Kingdom of Bohemia. This location on major trade routes shaped the region for generations.

The region shows German and Czech influences in its buildings and local traditions, which developed over centuries of shared history. Visitors can see this mixing in the architecture and the way people live there today.

The region is connected to Prague through the D6 motorway and an extensive railway network, making it easy to reach. Visitors should prepare for changing weather and can explore by car or train.

Three spa towns within the district share around 40 mineral springs with different water compositions. These natural springs have been known for their healing properties for generations and attract visitors seeking wellness.
