Bukwa: Hotels and Accommodation

The former Libík–Medard open-pit mine in the vicinity of Bukovany is being recultivated. A secondary heathland area developed on the southern edge of the Medard open-pit mine and became home to many rare plant species.

On a former railway access track in the direction of Medard, you can cycle by mountain bike to Medard. On the Mostov–Loket section of National Cycle Route No. 6, the recommended approach leads from Dasnice along the road toward Bukovany; at the end of the village, turn right.

Bukovany was first mentioned in writing in 1304. The historical livelihood of the village was based on agriculture and hop growing.

Coal mining in the vicinity of Bukovany began in the mid-19th century. As the mining fronts of the Gustav II and Gustav III open-pit mines advanced, old Bukovany was destroyed; Kytlice and Dvory also disappeared.

A distinctive reddish hop variety was historically grown in Bukovany, with a quality comparable to Saaz hops. Historically, iron ore was also mined in the vicinity of Bukovany and supplied to ironworks in the Ore Mountains.

A lookout point on the northern edge of Bukovany offers views of the changing landscape. The lookout point was not accessible by car; parking was available at the cemetery, and the rest of the way had to be covered on foot.
