Whether you are a ‘professional’ or casual cyclist, remember to take your bike along when getting ready for your stay in the Savoy Westend Hotel. However, should you forget, bicycles for adults and children can be rented directly at our hotel.
In addition we suggest one of the most popular cycle routes that you should not miss:
The Ohře cycle route - This route starts in Karlovy Vary and makes its way through the wonderful scenery of the Svatošské Rocks Nature Reserve stretching along the Ohře River to the picturesque historical town of Loket and then returning to Karlovy Vary.

Nordic Walking is a very pleasant type of exercise that is suitable for literally everyone, be it a performance athlete, a beginner, a young or an older person. In essence, it is common walking using poles, yet its effects are incredible. We recommend that those of you who have never tried Nordic Walking should, with our assistance, arrange trainer-guided lessons. Special poles are available from the hotel’s rental shop.

Winter sports lovers can go Alpine and cross-country skiing in the nearby Klínovec-Oberwiesenthal resort in the Krušné Mountains. There are numerous cross country skiing tracks and downhill slopes with various difficulty ratings. We can arrange an all-day or half-day ski pass or a night ski pass for you.

Spend a perfect day horseback riding in the nearby community of Děpoltovice which hosts a top quality riding facility. We can assist in the organisation of this activity and if you are a beginner, you can use the services of an experienced trainer. First, you book several riding lessons in a riding hall and then you go for a short, trainer-guided riding tour outdoors. If you already have riding experience, you can go on a riding tour without additional training and take pleasure in the beauty of the local scenery. Regardless of your riding skills, everyone will appreciate the pleasant atmosphere of a theme tavern on the premises of the riding facility.
Also worth mentioning are the regular events organized by the horseback riding club, for example, show jumping or entertainment and competition afternoon programs for children who can take a pony ride.
