The terrain around Nové Hamry is a high, forested valley in the Krušné hory, which has shaped both the settlement’s linear form and its long association with timber and mining. The village lies on the Rolava River near the German border, where spruce-covered slopes and a cooler mountain climate distinguish it from the lower Karlovy Vary basin. Its name recalls the iron hammers once worked here, while the Church of St John of Nepomuk remains a local landmark. Nové Hamry is also on the railway through the Rolava valley towards Potůčky, connecting small mountain communities. See how Nové Hamry fits into the Krušné hory by browsing webcams nearby.
