Vysoká Pec U Jirkova: Hotels and Accommodation

Vysoká Pec combines traces of mining with wooded nature and opportunities for sport and leisure.

History

The headframe of the former lignite mine has been preserved as a protected cultural monument. The Baroque Chapel of the Virgin Mary was built in 1904. The name Vysoká Pec is probably associated with a blast furnace located at the site of today’s settlement at the end of the 18th century and with workers’ accommodation.

Nature

The Jezerka Nature Reserve extends across the cadastral areas of Vysoká Pec and is exclusively forested. In the vicinity of Vysoká Pec, the area around Jezeří Hill in the Jezerka Nature Reserve offers views of Jedlová hora, the valley of the Vesnický potok and the Jezeří Reservoir.
