Klínovec
The highest peak of the Ore Mountains (1,244 m). In winter it is the largest ski area in western Czech Republic, and the summit observation tower offers views into Germany.
Klínovec lies on the Czech–German border and is the highest peak of the Ore Mountains. In winter it is a major Czech ski resort with several lifts and runs, connected to the Fichtelberg on the German side. In summer the cable car, mountain-bike trails and hiking routes are open. At the summit stands a 19th-century stone observation tower (check on site for current maintenance status). On clear days you can see the Ore Mountains and the Bohemian basin from it. The mountain is about 35 km from Karlovy Vary, roughly 40 minutes by car. In the valley below, Jáchymov is the world's first radium spa resort.
