Fodor's Expert Review Komorní Hůrka
Cheb
Nature Sight
Red markers indicate a path from Cheb's main square westward along the river and then north past this extinct volcano, now a tree-covered hill. Excavations on one side have laid bare the rock, and one tunnel remains open. Goethe instigated and took part in the excavations, and you can still—barely—make out a relief of the poet carved into the rock face.
The volcano is about 2 miles out of town.
