Komáří hůrka

Komáří hůrka is a mountain in the Eastern Ore Mountains standing at about 807 meters with steep slopes that drop sharply to the south. It is composed of orthogneiss and porphyry, forming a prominent feature in the landscape around Krupka.

Mining on this mountain began centuries ago, driven by tin and other mineral deposits. It gradually transformed into a recreation destination when a restaurant was built there in the middle of the 19th century.

The mountain serves as a meeting place where visitors come to enjoy views and eat at local restaurants. The walking paths and rest areas show how this location shifted from a working site to a recreational destination.

A chairlift runs from the valley floor to the summit, making the ascent easy and accessible for most visitors. Walking trails of various difficulty levels crisscross the mountain, offering options for different interests and abilities.

Beneath the surface lie old mining shafts and bell pits dating back to medieval extraction work. These underground tunnels are a hidden reminder of how intensively this mountain was worked over the centuries.
