Karlsbad hosts every year the “International Film Festival”, attracting promenent film drectors,producers, and actors from all over the world such as regular guests Sean Connery and  this year Robert Redford.

The Stud farm of Doubrava, owned and managed by Mr. Juergen Schaefer, offers 2 self-contained farms, together with seperate holiday accomadation and 60 hectares of meadows and farming land: One of the most spectacular sights in Doubrava is the fact that the horses can go directly from thier stables into the pastures in the early mornings   The inside of the farm together with the stables has been renovated with much sensitivity and detail, the second farm is at this moment not renovated and is used for young horses in the winter as open boxes, however the 2nd farm itself has enormous potential for either a second stud , small land house hotel or holiday accomadation.
