Mountains Doupov Mountains

The Doupov Mountains can be found between the towns of Karlovy Vary and Kadani, on the eastern side of the Ohře River, which separates the Doupov Mountains from the Ore Mountains. They got their name from the town of Doupov, which disappeared in 1953 to make way for the Hradiště military training area.

Thanks to the military area, the area is minimally accessible to tourists and hiking trails run only along its edges. The Doupov Mountains are made up of Tertiary volcanic materials and were formed at the junction of the Podkrušnohorské and Jáchymovské faults. The rivers originating in the Doupovské hory are mainly drained by the Ohře and Liboc rivers.
