The Krušné hory define the setting of Chomutov — their southern foothills bring the city into close contact with wooded valleys and the old mining country of north-western Czechia. The Chomutovka River runs through town and into Bezručovo údolí, a long valley used for walking and cycling beneath the mountain slopes. Near the centre, Kamencové jezero is an alum-rich lake whose unusual chemistry has made it a local recreation spot. Chomutov is also home to Podkrušnohorský zoopark, a large zoological park focused on animals of the Palearctic region. Its compact historic centre, shaped by the town’s medieval origins, provides an urban counterpoint to the surrounding foothills.
