Diana Observation Tower & Funicular
Rozhledna Diana
Ride the funicular, opened in 1912, up the hill, then climb the 40-metre observation tower for views over the whole spa town and the Teplá valley.
The Diana Observation Tower was built in 1914 in the forest on the hilltop west of the city. Take the Diana funicular (opened in 1912) from the station beside Grandhotel Pupp. It stops at the Deer Jump station on the way and reaches the top in about 5 minutes. The tower has a lift, and from the top you get a 360-degree panorama of the colourful spa buildings stretched along the valley. The summit also has a butterfly house, a restaurant, a small zoo and forest trails. You can walk back down past Deer Jump to the town. The funicular and the tower are charged separately, and winter opening hours are shorter.
