Another part of the revitalized „Maxipes Fík“ riverbank has been opened directly under the castle in Kadaň. The authors of this part are Projektil Architekti, who are simultaneously the general designers of the whole revitalization project. The riverbank was neglected and impassable, with remnants of the massive rebuilding from the 1970’s – the era of radical rebuilding of many historical areas in the Czech Republic. The town of Kadaň owes its origin to the river Ohře and it was tightly connected to it throughout history. The revitalization of the riverbank returns the river to the town to enjoy. The result of the project is not only a thorough clean-up and restored accessibility, but it primarily offers a new quality to the town, conditioned by the new situation in the society (it is not possible to bring back the houses of the tanners and dyers). The new quality is brought by various intimate public with different atmosphere and purpose. All these piers, little squares, and parks are connected by a path for pedestrians and cyclists, which is a part of a large cycle route along the river Ohře. Thanks to the possibility to dock boats in the area under the castle, the pedestrians can meet with cyclists and also with paddlers.
There is a historic supporting wall, in the narrowest part of the area directly under the castle, which survived the 1970‘s rebuilding. This wall served as the basis for the design of this part of revitalization. It was extended and joined with another wall over the weir downstream the river. Upstream the river, the wall was bridged by a new structure and became the side wall of the newly created space under the bridging called „Zajícův převis“. Another feaure is the main promenade created on the edge of the riverbank wall, which interconnects the whole area. It is broadened into a small square right below the castle, which allows the entrance to the space under the bridging (Zajícův převis). The promenade continues down the stream to the new pier and then further to the weir. There is a meadow for the visitors to relax on and for hosting open-air events between the promenade and the Říční street. Shade is provided by maple trees. The parking lot, situated under the fortification walls, is deliberately divided into several segments and structured through the use of different surface finishes (stones, etc.), to downtone the visibility of cars in the area. The rocky slope under the town’s fortification walls, on which currently goats graze grass, awaits its revitalization along with the whole Špitál suburbs before the Žatec gate.
