Havířský vrch (peak havířský)

Havířský vrch is one of the best preserved mines in the geopark. At the foot of the hill, a boulder was found with the year 1797, which refers to the time when mining operations took place here. Today, you can see the traces of mining yourselves – sinkholes, grooves and one mining shaft just below the top. The shaft is barred and probably served to pull the extracted material and tailings to the surface. The hill itself is split by a long mining site measuring over one kilometre. It starts on the south side at Lake Mácha, continues on the other side of the hill, crosses the road and leads further north.

In addition to the mining sites, you can admire the nice sandstone rocks with examples of iron cementing. The rocks offer a special view of the landscape around Lake Mácha, including the most dominant feature of the region – Castle Bezděz.
