Karlovy Vary boasts one of the oldest, and most attractive, golf courses in continental Europe. This 18-hole course located on the outskirts of the city has been recently upgraded.

A dense network of walking and hiking paths covers the wooded hills surrounding Karlovy Vary. Some of these paths are also suitable for mountain-biking. A brochure with recommended walks is available. A Japanese garden located next to the Richmond sanatorium is a peaceful spot perfect for quiet meditation.

For those seeking thrills rather than peace and relaxation, several casinos and a horse track offer their services.
