💧 🏛️Tip for a trip: Jáchymov – a town of spas and history

If you are looking for an interesting destination not far from Boží Dar, be sure to head to Jáchymov, which is only about 7 km away. You can get there by car in less than 10 minutes, but walking or cycling there is also a wonderful experience.

🚶 On foot
The walk from Boží Dar to Jáchymov takes about 2 hours. The route is mostly downhill, so it is less physically demanding, but when returning to Boží Dar, expect an uphill climb and a greater exertion.

🚴 By bike
You can reach Jáchymov by bike in about 30-40 minutes. The route is moderately difficult – the ride down to the town is comfortable, but the return trip requires good physical condition due to the long climb.

There is also a regular bus service between Boží Dar and Jáchymov. This can be useful for the return trip, for example, if you don’t want to make the demanding climb back up the mountain.

💦 Spa tradition
The radon spas in Jáchymov are unique in the world – the first of their kind in the world.
