The main railway line Prague–Cheb via Plzeň runs through the municipal territory. The train station named Lázně Kynžvart, which serves mainly the neighbouring town of Lázně Kynžvart, is located in the territory of Stará Voda.[5]

Sights[edit]

Church of Saint John the Baptist

The main landmark of the municipality is the Church of Saint John the Baptist in Vysoká. It was originally a Romanesque-Gothic building from the mid-13th century. It was gradually rebuilt and modified until 1847. In 1982, the roof was taken off and only the tower was preserved.[6]
