Měděnec, Mountain summit in Chomutov District, Czech Republic
Kupferberg is a mountain summit reaching 845 meters in the Chomutov District. Dense forests cover the slopes and several hiking trails of varying difficulty wind through the landscape.
Mining operations began here in the 16th century, drawing workers and settlers to the area. Copper extraction became the primary economic activity that shaped the mountain settlement for centuries.
A small chapel partway up the slope draws hikers and local visitors, showing how the mountain has long been woven into community life.
Wear sturdy shoes and bring layers, as the higher elevations can be windy and cool even in warmer months. The best hiking season runs from late spring through early autumn when the trails are dry and safe.
The name comes directly from its geological makeup: copper-rich ore made the mountain economically valuable from medieval times onward.
