Mezihorí

Mezihoří combines a manageable ski resort with circular routes and a multifaceted local history. Those wishing to combine different interests during their stay will find specific options here: downhill skiing and snowboard lessons, short and moderately difficult circular routes, as well as historical traces in the village. This combination makes Mezihoří a destination that you can discover in very different ways, depending on your preferred daily itinerary.

Ski resort and routes for different daily itineraries

The Mezihoří ski resort has two downhill slopes, one red and one blue. Two drag lifts serve the slopes. The resort also offers snowboard lessons. The winter sports options are therefore clearly focused on two downhill slopes, their associated lifts, and lessons. Free parking is available to visitors at the ski resort. The ski resort can also be reached by regular bus services and can be left using such services.

For a shorter outing, the easy Mezihoří–Blatno circular route is a good option. It is 3.5 km each way and starts at the Mezihoří ski resort opposite the bottom station of the large drag lift. Those looking for a longer and more demanding route will find the Mezihořský vršek circular route. It is 15 km long and moderately difficult; its route runs around the villages of Mezihoří, Zákoutí, and Mezihořský vršek.

The local history of the trails is also part of the village's character. Even before the war, two hiking trails to Mezihoří were signposted, one from Chomutov and one from Jirkov. This information points to an older connection between the village and hiking, but explicitly describes the historical situation and does not automatically indicate current signposting.

Chapel, place names, and milling tradition

Mezihoří was founded on September 10, 1577. The village was formerly known as Gerštofr and, in German, as Gersdorf. Those interested in regional history can therefore place older names of the village in context alongside its current name.

A chapel dating from 1900 stands in the upper part of Mezihoří. It was reconstructed, including its interior. Another historical feature is the Griessel Mill, also known as Höfer Mill. It still stands today; remnants of its millrace have survived. The chapel and mill offer different points of interest: the chapel makes a specific building from 1900 visible, while the mill, with the surviving remains of its millrace, recalls the site's former use.

When looking for a hotel or other accommodation in Mezihoří, you can therefore first consider which focus should define your stay: the ski resort with its two downhill slopes, the short Mezihoří–Blatno circular route, the moderately difficult 15-kilometre loop, or the historical sites and buildings. The documented offerings cover different areas and can thus be combined into an individual daily itinerary.

For further travel planning, you can also consider Nová Víska, Klášterec Nad Ohří, Vadkovice, Nezabylice, Černovice U Chomutova, Křimov, Pesvice and Vejprty.
