České Hamry: Hotels and Accommodation
Accommodation in České Hamry
České Hamry was established on the Polavský stream, which forms the border between Bohemia and Saxony. The settlement was probably founded in the 16th century by people who processed iron from the nearby ore-mining region around Kovářská.
