Klášterec Nad Ohří can be explored through a range of interests: the castle and porcelain sit alongside a large landscaped park, collections, art and seasonal leisure activities. The Neo-Gothic castle on the banks of the Ohře is the town’s most prominent landmark. If you are planning a stay, you can consider culture, green spaces and water-based activities as separate interests.
Castle, Collections and Art
Zámek a muzeum porcelánu (Castle and Porcelain Museum) houses a porcelain exhibition drawn from the collections of the Museum of Decorative Arts in Prague. The Sala terrena in the castle grounds also features sculptural decoration by Jan Brokof. The castle building, porcelain collection and sculpture thus offer different cultural points of interest.
A contemporary perspective is offered by Městská galerie Kryt (Kryt Municipal Gallery), which presents Czech and international art in regular monthly exhibition cycles. The distinction is clear when choosing what to explore: porcelain and sculpture take centre stage in the castle, while the gallery focuses on contemporary art.
Park and Historical Connections
Zámecký park is a ten-hectare English landscape garden with 150 tree species from around the world. The variety of tree species is a tangible feature of the park; the chapel group Sedm bolestí Panny Marie (Seven Sorrows of the Virgin Mary) is also located in its northern section. This places the park’s landscape design alongside a specific cultural landmark.
Another collection highlight is Muzeum hodin (Clock Museum). It features antique clocks from a private collection; the oldest pieces date from 1580. A permanent exhibition of antique clocks opened in 2014. These dates refer to different historical points: 1580 is the date of the oldest pieces, while 2014 marks the exhibition’s opening.
Educational Trail and Nature Reserve
There are also natural attractions beyond the cultural offerings. The Cesta z města educational trail begins above Útočiště and follows the blue hiking trail markers towards Měděnec. Nearby, in the area around Klášterec Nad Ohří and Kadaň, lies Úhošť, a national nature reserve covering 114.5 hectares. For your plans, you can choose between a marked educational trail and a nature reserve in the surrounding area as distinct points of interest.
Water and Spa Facilities
The seasonal aquapark on the outskirts of town offers water attractions for children and adults. Facilities include slides measuring 28, 68 and 128 metres, a children’s pool and a diving tower. The aquapark is open during the summer season, weather permitting. If you plan your visit in advance, check beforehand whether weather conditions will allow it to operate.
The Evženie spa complex includes a wellness area, swimming pool, whirlpool, infrared saunas, a salt cave and sports facilities. If you would like to include wellness or sports alongside culture in your plans, the spa complex offers a distinct option.
Finding Your Way Around Town
Klášterec Nad Ohří’s tourist information centre is located beneath the town hall on the town square. You can buy Klášterecké oplatky in the information centre at the spa complex. The two locations serve different purposes: tourist information on the town square and a specific purchase at the spa complex.
