Krušnohorská horní krajina UNESCO

The mining memorials of the Saxonian and Bohemian sides were added to the world cultural heritage UNESCO in the year 2019. A unique value of the mining region Erzgebirge/Ore Mountains is supported by various internationally recognized inventions and innovations in the area of mining and metallurgical technologies. The inventions successfully spread from the Ore Mountains into the whole of Europe and over the ocean in the 16th century. The Ore Mountains region influenced progress in many fields such as metallurgical legislation, administration, and education, or monetary systems. This claim is backed by the story of tolar from Jáchymov, which turned into the European currency used for more than 300 years and preceded the American dollar.

Families with children may be amazed by the visit of the mining sites Johannes or Mauritius. Hiking the 910-metre-high mountain Medník famous from the cult Czech tv series is also great fun. The area is well-known for iron mining in the past so the hill is literary larded with drifts. A former mining village Meděnec is situated under the southern range of the mountain. The top of the mountain offers a 360 view of the Ore Mountains and a wind park that appears almost cosmic-like within the scenery.
