迈尔观景亭, Wooden observation pavilion in Karlovy Vary, Czech Republic

Mayerův gloriet is an octagonal wooden gazebo with eight timber columns carrying a pyramidal sheet-metal roof, standing on a rocky spur at Jelení skok directly above the spa centre of Karlovy Vary. It looks down on the Teplá valley and the slopes around the town, with Divadelní náměstí and the hill topped by Hotel Imperial in view. Benches once stood inside.

Mayerův gloriet was built in 1804 and named after its founder, a wealthy Viennese merchant and native of Karlovy Vary called Mayer. The work was probably carried out by builder and master carpenter Franz Knoll of the Knoll family. The pavilion was fully renovated in 2000; in 2012 it was closed because its lower section had lost structural stability, and the repair by the Tesařská huť association under carpenter Roman Klouček replaced oak parts of the foundations using traditional carpentry techniques and tools.

The name gloriet refers to a decorative garden or park structure, usually open-sided and columned; this one is a wooden gazebo rather than a stone gloriet. It is freely accessible year-round and is a favourite stop for spa guests walking the spa forests. The interior once held benches for rest.

The pavilion can be reached via forest paths and stone steps from the city center or by taking the Diana cable car to Jelení skok station. The best time to visit is during dry weather with clear visibility when the views extend farthest.

The pavilion was named after its founder, a wealthy Viennese merchant and native of Karlovy Vary called Mayer. It is also known as the Jelení skok viewpoint, after the rocky spur by the deer leap on which it stands.
