Statue of chamois at Jelení skok, Bronze statue of chamois on Jelení skok overlook, Karlovy Vary, Czech Republic.

The Statue of chamois at Jelení skok is a bronze sculpture standing on a pointed granite rock about 10 metres high in the spa forests above Stará louka street. The chamois, a faithful copy of the original zinc work, weighs an estimated 80 kg.

In 1850 the town councillors planned a deer statue on the rock above the Teplá but balked at the cost. Baron August von Lützow then secretly placed a zinc chamois ordered from Berlin sculptor August Kiss in 1851, arguing a deer could not have leapt from such a steep rock. Vandalism or a storm destroyed it in 1984; since 10 April 1986 a bronze replica by Jan Kotek stands there.

The name Jelení skok, "deer's leap", comes from the legend of Charles IV: a stag escaped his hunting dog by leaping from this cliff, while the dog fell into a hot spring. In 1851 Baron August von Lützow placed a chamois here instead, arguing that only a chamois could jump from such a steep rock.

The statue stands on a roughly 10-metre-high granite cliff in the spa forests above Stará louka street. It is reached on foot along the woodland paths; the site is a viewpoint over the Teplá valley and the Imperial Hotel on the opposite slope.

The sculpture marks a spot that has drawn walkers and visitors for well over a century. The bronze casting is built to withstand snow and ice during the colder months of the year.
