The Ore Mountain Mining Region, having just earned its title as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2019, has a rich history. During the Renaissance, the area was the biggest source of silver ore in Europe and has ancient mines dating back to the 12th century.
Today, the Ore Mountains' beautiful landscapes of high ridgeways, rolling forests and historic towns contain hundreds of kilometres of hiking, cycling and MTB trails, perfect for any active traveller.
Walk the trail that runs the border between the Czech Republic and Germany, wander the Boží Dar Peat Bog Trail, home to rare species of flora and fauna, or try some Nordic walking. You can even ride some of the famous Stoneman Miriquidi, a MTB trail taking in two countries, 9 summits and 4,400 metres of altitude gain.
If you’re in the mood to take things easy, explore the local towns and landmarks or take a relaxing ride on a steam train for a great way to see the countryside.
The Prize:
This great prize is for a four-night stay in the picturesque village of Boží Dar, at the Hotel Green House, a historic hotel that has roots as far back as 1542. You’ll stay on a half-board basis plus an extra treat of a free cup of coffee and homemade cake. Flights and transfers will also be included, so no need to worry about transport!
The winner will also receive a tour of the spectacular Krystof Gallery, located 65 metres underground in the historic Mauritius tin mine, the largest of its kind in the Ore Mountains and operated for a whopping 400 years between 1545 and 1944.
Plus, a day of scooter hire is also included as part of the prize, which is a unique way to explore Klínovec Mountain, the highest peak in the Ore Mountains at 1,244 metres. Scoot the forest trails to get to know the local countryside and take the chairlift up for some outstanding views.
The prize can be redeemed until October 2019 or from 1/4/2020 until 31/10/2020. (Mauritius tin mine tours only available from April to September)
