“Glück auf!” to a world heritage site full of wonders!: Discovering the Erzgebirge/Krušnohoří Mining Region

Idyllic landscapes, unique river valleys and picturesque spots dotted along the German/Czech border
have been forged over more than 800 years of mining history –
a
history to which the Erzgebirge owes its wealth, its name and its
economic significance. In July 2019 the Erzgebirge/Krušnohoří
Mining Region was awarded UNESCO World Heritage status.
The site comprises 22 component parts: 17 in Saxony (Germany)
and five in Czechia. Taken together, these demonstrate the extraordinary
universal value of this place; they are testament to the
region’s mining heritage, and representative of many other mining
communities and artefacts.
Our World Heritage Site consists of over 400 individual elements.
However, not all of them are used for tourism, or open regularly.
This brochure lists the museums, mines, exhibitions and other
attractions in the Erzgebirge/Krušnohoří Mining Region that have
regular opening hours.
