Pernink

Pernink has served as a mining town in the Ore Mountains since the 16th century. Set close to 900 metres above sea level in the Karlovy Vary Region, it developed when silver and tin extraction shaped settlements across this Czech-German borderland. Forests and upland meadows surround the compact town, and its snowy winters make the area a recognised destination for cross-country skiing; walking routes take over in the warmer months. Pernink stands on the railway line between Karlovy Vary and Johanngeorgenstadt in Germany, reflecting the region’s longstanding links across the mountain ridge.
