The royal roots of Boží Dar

👑 The town with the golden coat of arms

Boží Dar is not only the highest town in Central Europe, but also a place with a fascinating history. It was founded in the 16th century by the Czech king Ferdinand I Habsburg himself. The name “Boží Dar” was meant to symbolize gratitude for the discovery of silver and tin deposits in the Ore Mountains. From its very beginnings, it was linked to mining and royal power, which is still reflected today in the town’s coat of arms featuring a golden lion.

Mining history and cultural heritage

For centuries, the town’s inhabitants worked in the mines, and metal mining ensured its wealth. Today, the noisy mines no longer exist, but you can find reminders of them in the educational trails and museums of the Ore Mountains. The town is part of the mining cultural landscape, which has been inscribed on the UNESCO list.
