Krupka, Medieval mining town in Teplice District, Czech Republic
The landscape north of Krupka contains more than 150 former tin mining sites, with numerous shafts and underground passages across the mountainous terrain.
Established in 1305 by King Wenceslaus II, Krupka developed into a major tin and silver mining center during the late Middle Ages.
The Starý Martin mine exhibits Central Europe's longest tin vein, stretching two kilometers through the mountain and demonstrating medieval mining techniques.
The area offers access to multiple preserved mining sites, including the Knötel district located beneath the Komáří hůrka cable car line.
The Große Pinge, a massive sinkhole formed by collapsed mining chambers, stands as the largest surface remnant of tin extraction in the region.
