ABOUT MOST

The city of Most, located in the Ústí nad Labem Region of the Czech Republic, lies near the Ore Mountains and close to the German border. Known for its industrial heritage, the city has deep roots in coal mining, which significantly shaped its development during the 20th century. Most is famous for the relocation of its historic Church of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary, which was moved on rails in the 1970s to save it from destruction due to mining.

The city offers a mix of historical and modern attractions. One highlight is the Hněvín Castle, perched on a hill with stunning views of the surrounding area. Nearby, Lake Most, a reclaimed former mining site, is now a hub for water sports and recreation. The Autodrom Most racing circuit is a major draw for motorsport fans, hosting numerous events throughout the year.

For culture enthusiasts, Most provides a variety of options, including theatres, galleries, and events celebrating the region's mining heritage. The Podkrušnohorské Technical Museum offers an in-depth look at the city’s industrial past and its connection to coal mining. Visitors can also explore the green spaces and leisure facilities in the Benedikt recreation area.

Modern Most is accessible by road and rail, with good connections to Prague and Dresden. Efforts to diversify its economy have led to increased focus on tourism, renewable energy, and environmental restoration. Most’s unique combination of history, industry, and nature offers visitors a compelling experience.
