Loket is a beautifully preserved medieval town nestled in a loop of the Ohře River, dominated by its 12th-century Gothic castle. Visitors can wander through narrow cobblestone lanes, explore the castle with its torture museum and historic halls, and enjoy riverside walks. The town's compact size makes it easy to explore on foot, and its picturesque setting has made it a popular day-trip destination from Karlovy Vary.
