Lookout tower on Biskupská kupa
The dominant feature of the Golden Mountains region is the lookout tower at an altitude of 890 m. It was built as the first stone lookout tower in the Jeseníky Mountains in 1898 on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the reign of Emperor Franz Joseph.
Postal tunnel
The Postal Adit is located about 6 km south of the town of Zlaté Hory, near the underground Speleotherapy premises.The first mention of the Postal Adit dates back to 1513. The greatest development of mining activity at this work was achieved in in the second half of the 17th century , when kyzovite copper ores were mined here, and later pyrite. Parts of the hand-cut tunnels and chimneys from the earliest periods, as well as the original water extraction equipment made of wood, are well preserved at various levels of the mine. The most striking feature in the underground, however, is the blue ‘allophane’ decoration.
Gold mining open-air museum
A replica of water-powered medieval mining mills made according to period drawings.
The original medieval water embankment was mainly used to wash away the slope above the right bank of the Olešnice River, where gold-bearing sediments were mined. A local nature trail leads to these sites, which both marks the place where the water flows uphill and provides information about the geology of the site and the local nature.
There is also a mining settlement and a smelting furnace.
