Zlaté Hory, Mining municipality in Jeseník District, Czech Republic.

The town lies at an elevation of 397 meters and contains seven administrative divisions including Dolní Údolí, Horní Údolí, and Rejvíz.

Gold mining operations in Zlaté Hory began in 1224, leading to the establishment of Edelštejn Castle for protection of the valuable mineral resources.

The Old Post building from 1698 houses a museum displaying artifacts from the town's mining heritage and exhibits about the 17th-century witch trials.

The municipality maintains numerous hiking paths that connect to various points of interest, including preserved mining galleries open for public tours.

The Biskupská kupa Mountain features an observation tower constructed in 1898, recognized as the oldest standing watchtower in the Eastern Sudetes.
