Maria Immaculata - Camera Obscura - Three Crosses - Otto's Height and Otto's Column - Goethe's View (or Hůrky)
The path begins at one of the oldest Baroque statues of Karlovy Vary - Mary Immaculate. Further along the edge of the forest to the east, and from the Drahovice cemetery rising switchbacks to a place with an impressive view of the spa quarter and further in the Sokolov Basin to the west and Krušné hory (Ore Mountains) to the north.
From the morphologically conspicuous platforms leads the way up to a place called “Three Crosses” from 1640. Beside to wooden crosses, we find concrete cover of machine-gun nest from the time World War II and above it a newly built wooden gazebo, again with spectacular views of the spa town in a narrow valley of the Teplá River.
Further towards the Otto Height we see on the right remnants of the upper station never in operation putted funicular and foundations of an unfinished hotel. The bedrock is built by autometamorphed granite of the Karlovy Vary granite pluton. The granite is fine grained, only occasionally porphyric, with high biotite content, in a fresh condition grey to pinkish grey, weathered then brownish to yellow-brown.
The Otto's Height (602 m) with a renewed stone pillar is also being built by fine-grained granite. Towards the east can be recorded a contact with the coarse-grained biotite granite, which forms also the highest of the hills surrounding the Teplá Valley – the Goethe Height (641 m). On top of Goethe Heights was by a major architectural firm “Fellner and Helmer” built in neo-Gothic style an observation tower, now unfortunately closed to the public.
