Some of the most important historical centres in the region
can be found in the towns of Kadaň, Litoměřice and Terezín. Then there are
the chateaux at Klášterec nad Ohří, Krásný Dvůr and Velké
Březno. Important religious sites such as the Franciscan Monastery
in Kadaň, the Cistercian Monastery in Osek and the Loreto Chapel in Rumburk
lend the history of the area a spiritual dimension.
The region boasts many activities and attractions: a visit to the autodrome
and hippodrome in Most, a stroll through the naturally-formed
gorges around Hřensko, the so-called ‘sfinxes near
Měděnec, winter sports at ski resorts of the Krušné
Mountains and water sports at Nechanice or on Kamencové Lake.
Kamencové Lake near Chomutov was created as a result of mining activity in
the 16th century. Water formed a lake measuring 16 hectares and with a depth
of 33m. It has become a popular place of recreation.
Milešovka is the highest mountain in the České středohoří range.
It is one of only a handful which can only be accessed on foot - there is no
road or track to the top. The difference in height between the base and the
peak is 300m. The view from the top was described by one of the greatest travellers
of all time, Alexander Humboldt, as the third most beautiful in the world.
