Ostrov Essentials

Ostrov features a significant historical core centered around its Baroque castle and an expansive park once celebrated as the 'Eighth Wonder of the World.' The town’s heritage spans from the Renaissance to the industrial era, highlighted by the somber Red Tower of Death at the Vykmanov labor camp. Visitors can explore local nature at the Ekocentrum, follow the path of the former Jáchymov railway, or discover miniature water mills and ruins in the surrounding forested landscape.
