Things to do
Things to do in Jáchymov and the Ore Mountains
Jáchymov has five hundred years of silver, thalers and uranium behind it, and it shows on every corner. Here is what there is to do while you are staying with us, with the distance from the apartments next to each one.
Mining and history
4 2 km from us
Svornost Mine
One of the oldest mines in Jáchymov — radon water is still pumped from it for the local spa. Viewable from outside; the prison camp of the same name stood right beside it in the 1950s.
1 km from us
Jáchymov Hell trail
Eight and a half kilometres through the places where camps of political prisoners mining uranium stood in the 1950s. Not an easy walk, but not one you forget either.
1 km from us
Royal Mint Museum
A Renaissance house from 1534–1536 where thalers were struck — the coin that gave the word dollar its name. Inside: town history, Ore Mountains geology and 16th-century silver mining.
