Jáchymov is a small and charming town nestled in the Ore Mountains (Erzgebirge / Krušné hory). We were truly impressed by its rich history, which adds a special atmosphere to the place. The town has a local museum and a large Catholic church. Another great advantage is its convenient location near several ski resorts, making it an excellent base for winter sports enthusiasts. Overall, Jáchymov is a lovely town with a unique historical charm, perfect for both exploring and relaxing! 🏔️✨

The town has a mellow atmosphere, almost like a ghost town, but the history of its glory can be felt when you walk around. Lots of mining and prisoner camp history around the area, which was very interesting. Not too many good spots to eat. Close to Bozi Dar, Rolava, etc.

Jáchymov waits to be discovered by more people, as the little town in the UNESCO World Heritage area "Ore Mountains" is gearing up to offer a good past time without overcrowding. Most astonishing might be the fact that the local silver coin called (Joachims)Thaler gave the name to the nowadays Dollar! This can be seen in the local museum. The world's oldest Uranium mine can be visited once weekly, and on a daily base a small mine copy is accesible at the tourist info opposite the Spa center (swimming pool, excellent sauna, salt inhalations etc.). Some cosy cafés and restaurants offer yummy specialities, otherwise groceries If the Prima Express lift to the Klinovec peak operates so does the ski bus line D. More ski resorts higher in the mountains can be reached in short time by local buses (DPKV operator). Karlovy Vary is possible as a a day trip.

The city of Jáchymov is unfortunately marked by its location. The city has no historical center, it is allocated along a long exit street that crosses the city for more than two kilometers, the city is full of only hotels and guesthouses for spa guests. Restaurants are only part of these establishments and close very early - between 9 and 10 o'clock. The only thing that Jáchymov is proud of (besides the spa) is the former uranium mines, which can be visited. And then walk in the surrounding nature.

Nice little town. Need a better information system about time and days of tours...it was just changing into low season and it was difficult to find right info about opening hours. Also attractions need updates online as well. Otherwise very relaxing atmosphere and overall we enjoyed our stay and we would recommend this town for visit.

Jachymov is a pretty village with beautiful forests and in mountains. It has within walking distance a number of restaurants and cafes. The big spa with sauna and pools is just down the hill. The air was fresh and vibrant and scenery just perfect. We loved Jachymov and would return. Incognito Cafe was a treasure.
