Ore Mountains
In recent years, a request has been made to include the Ore Mountains on the UNESCO list. The entire Ore Mountains are exceptional for their diverse range of minerals from silver, tin, iron, coal and lithium. The past, connected mainly with the mining of various metals, has created a unique offer of underground inspection galleries for future generations. Our surroundings are rich not only underground, but also above ground. The popular tourist area offers its visitors marked hiking trails, sports opportunities for winter and summer or the opportunity to go just outside the city and let nature teach you to relax.
