Pernink: Horská chata PLZEŇKA
Built around silver mining in the Ore Mountains, Pernink grew into a small highland municipality in Czechia’s Karlovy Vary Region. It lies among the wooded uplands of the Krušné hory, the range that forms much of the Czech–German border. Mining shaped settlements throughout this region from the late Middle Ages onward, while Pernink today has the compact, practical character of a mountain community, with homes and everyday services arranged along its through road. Its position places it within a network of villages used by people exploring the central Ore Mountains on foot, by bicycle or on skis.

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.

The terrain of Czechia ranges from fertile lowlands in southern Moravia to mountain ridges along the northern frontier, giving this Central European country a distinctly varied geography. The Vltava runs through Prague before joining the Elbe, while the Krkonoše form part of the border with Poland and include Sněžka, Czechia’s highest mountain. Prague’s historic centre, with Prague Castle and Charles Bridge, reflects the city’s long role as a political and cultural centre. Beyond the capital, Bohemia is known for spa towns and brewing, and Moravia for wine-growing traditions.
