Křimov: Hotels and Accommodation

Winter setting

Trails and landscape

Cycling route 3008 starts at Křimov railway stop and leads to the former Third Mill in Bezruč Valley. The 65-kilometre Stezka Českem na Chomutovsku route runs from Křimov via Hora Svatého Šebestiána and Blatno to Kalek. Another cycling trip from Chomutov via Bezruč Valley, the Křimov Reservoir, Nová Ves and Výsluní leads around the Křimov Reservoir.

The Křimov Reservoir primarily serves as a drinking-water reservoir for Chomutov. The water surface and the dam are not freely accessible; entering Protection Zone I is prohibited to the public.

History and railway

The Church of St. Anne in Křimov was built in the mid-14th century. The originally Gothic church was extensively rebuilt around 1530; the west portal, the vault and the windows in the presbytery date from this period. The presbytery has a defensive storey with slit windows in its eastern and southern walls.

South of the church stands a single-storey Baroque rectory dating from the last third of the 18th century. A reconciliation cross by the roadside near house number 47 is one of the listed monuments in Křimov.

A railway museum is being established at the former Křimov railway station. Historical locomotives and railway carriages form the basis of the planned exhibition. LOKO-MOTIV organises public special services, including traditional historic bicycle trains that run during the summer holidays from Klášterec nad Ohří via Chomutov and Křimov to Vejprty and back.

Nature and surroundings

In the wider regional surroundings of Křimov, near the eastern edge of Krásná Lípa, lies the small Krásná Lípa Nature Monument protected area. The critically endangered pasque flower (Pulsatilla patens) grows there; the nature monument protects it and is considered the only site of this species at the foot of the Ore Mountains.

In the wider regional surroundings of Křimov, the remains of the vanished Hausberk Castle lie on Zámecký vrch, about one kilometre north of Krásná Lípa.
