Tasovice: Holiday Apartments and Holiday Homes

Culture and History

Starý Loket encompasses a Mesolithic settlement and an early medieval hillfort. The acropolis and outer bailey of Starý Loket were protected by a timber-and-earth fortification with a stone front facing; it survives as an earthwork of varying heights.

The Tašovice Hillfort is an archaeological protected area in the district of Karlovy Vary of the same name. In Tašovice, a new community chapel was built in 1836 in place of a demolished chapel. A small brick bell tower was built at the chapel in Tašovice in 1931.

Nature

The Tašovice cadastral area is home to Dub u Nešporů, a protected individual tree. It is an English oak (Quercus robur) estimated to be 150 years old (2006) and 22 m tall (2014). Near Starý Loket, views of the Ohře Valley are accessible from several places.

Getting Around

Both cycling approaches to the Starý Loket Hillfort and to the viewpoint over the Ohře Valley involve a significant climb. The Tašovice Hillfort can be reached from the western end of Slovanská Street via an asphalt path towards Stahlův dvůr. The archaeological site is a stop on the educational trail.

The cycling path construction project in question is part of the interregional cycling route No. 6, Euregio Egrensis.
