The highest town in the Czech Republic, located in the heart of the Ore Mountains, offers beautiful nature, skiing and a peaceful atmosphere.
Boží Dar is a picturesque mountain town with an altitude of 1028 meters, making it the highest town in the Czech Republic and one of the highest in Central Europe.
