The Karlovy Vary Region is rich with significant natural resources. Visitors come to our region not only for the curative effects of the mineral springs, but also for historical monuments and relics; and the beautiful natural sceneries. When travelling, some of them may visit former mining areas in the Jáchymov region, Horní Slavkov region or in Krásno itself, where the mining museum is situated nowadays.

It was mining that predetermined the fate of the region as well as of the people who lived here and still do. Visit, through our website, the most important mining localities in the region and get to know their history.
