Mining History
The Alžbětinská dědičná štola (St. Elisabeth Heritage Gallery) was an important drainage gallery from the 16th to the 19th century. The Jitřní štola (Gut-Morgen Gallery) represents the beginnings of mining in Přebuz in the 16th century and was converted into an explosives store in the 20th century.
The headframe of the Hlavní jáma (Main Shaft) is a technical monument. Beneath the concreted shaft opening lies a flooded labyrinth of mine workings extending to a depth of 190 m.
On the ascending section of road leading to the church, Buchar (Bucherich) was a facility for crushing tin ore; it supplied a nearby ore-processing plant and smelter. The processing plant for tin and arsenic ores operated from 1933 to 1945.
The Church of St. Bartholomew in Přebuz is associated with the year 1781; according to the town’s history, it was completed in 1787.
Landscape
The Přebuzské vřesoviště protected area preserves near-natural habitats that emerged after peat extraction and serve as a refuge for rare and endangered plants and animals.
Hartelsberg (Čertova hora) is a 987 m high, cone-shaped landscape landmark of Přebuz. From there, there are views of the Krušné hory, Smrčiny, Český les, Slavkovský les, Tepelská vrchovina and Doupovské hory.
The Skalka rock outcrop immediately along the path to Hartelsberg displays characteristic textures of tin-bearing granite.
Traces of Tin Mining
Panský důl (Herrenzeche) offers insights into the rugged open-pit workings, collapsed galleries, depressions, swallow holes and springs left behind by tin mining from the 16th to the 19th century.
Tin mining in Přebuz was carried out from 1909 to 1914 under the name Čerstvé štěstí (Frischglück) and from 1931 to 1958 as Ritterův důl (Ritterschacht). It reached a depth of 120 m and left behind rows of subsidence hollows.
The settling pond (Odkaliště hlušiny) contains sandy residues produced during ore washing.
Paths
The tin mine near Přebuz can be reached from the car park at the crossroads between the church and cemetery via approximately 700 m of paved path. Access by car is possible, with no entry restriction, to within approximately 250 m.
