    Tips

    August 3, 2023

    The landscape shaped by mining north of the former mining town of Měděnec (Kupferberg) is an important part of the mining heritage in the central Ore Mountains. Mining was mainly concentrated around Mědník Hill, where mining of iron and silver-bearing copper ores from hard skarn rock is documented for almost six centuries.

    The characteristic hill with the Baroque chapel "Immaculate Conception Mary" from 1674 is unique both in the Ore Mountains and in the European context due to the large number of historical mines. From the 15th to the 19th century, around 70 tunnels and shafts were in operation on a small area, of which numerous broken mouth holes, funnel-shaped pings and heaps have been preserved today.

    The historical underground facilities are open to the public thanks to the adit Marie Pomocná (Maria Hilf) and Země zaslíbená (Promised Land) and very well reflect the preserved traces of mining by hand and setting fire.🚵‍♂️
