The small river Černá (Black Water) rises west of the Fichtelberg in Saxony, then flows into Czech territory and along the northern border of the Božídarské rašeliniště nature reserve. The river gets its name from the dark water, rich in humic substances, flowing from the numerous surrounding bogs. After 18.6 kilometers in the Czech Republic, the river flows back to Saxony and finally into the Zwickauer Mulde near Aue.

In the park in the town centre of Boží Dar you will find this seating group, where a carved bear holds the table for those taking a rest.

The town hall of Boží Dar stands on the central square of the town, which regained town status on October 10, 2006. It was built here between 1844 and 1845 in the late Classicist style, after the old town hall was destroyed in the great fire of 1808 (along with 104 other houses, the rectory, and the school). Its distinctive feature is the octagonal tower with a dome on the hipped roof. With 255 inhabitants, Boží Dar is the fourth smallest town in the Czech Republic, but also the highest in the country. In 1930, Boží Dar had 916 inhabitants, 887 of whom were Germans, 19 Czechoslovakians, and ten foreigners.

The third church building in the history of the mining town of Boží Dar (Gottesgab) was built in 1771 in the late Baroque style according to plans by the Prague architect Filip Heger. Previously, a wooden early Renaissance church had stood here since the 1630s, followed by a stone late Renaissance church from 1593 onwards. This church burned down in the mid-18th century and was replaced by the current church building. By the end of the 1960s, the church was in such poor condition that it had to be closed to the public for safety reasons. A fundraising campaign made the necessary repairs and the reopening of St. Anne's Church possible in 2016. Located at an altitude of 1,020 metres above sea level, it is not only the highest church in the Ore Mountains, the third highest church in the Czech Republic, and one of the highest town churches in all of Central Europe.

The Zelený dům (Green House) Hotel is a late Classicist building dating back to 1917. In that year, the original inn, which had stood on this site since 1542, was again expanded and modernized. A typical element of the then-popular Heimat style was the wooden cladding of the facades. In this house, the wood has always been painted green. This is likely where the hotel gets its name from.

Anyone who comes to Gottesgab should definitely stop by the historic Green House. The room is quaint and cozy, with historical photographs, coats of arms, and a plaque in old German script hanging on the walls, commemorating Martin Luther's stay in the Green House.
