Better described as rugged highlands rather than soaring mountain peaks, the Ore Mountains separate Germany and Czechia and extend on both sides of the border. They are named for the endless quantities of Tin and Silver Ore mined in the region for over a thousand years. Centuries of mining have left behind an indelible cultural landscape, from its architecture to its food. Explore the heritage of the Ore Mountains with its ancient mining tunnels, charming villages and dramatic natural landscapes.
