Křimov: Holiday Apartments and Holiday Homes

A yellow-marked hiking trail runs along the railway line and forms a circular route between Křimov, the Křimov Reservoir and the Bezruč Valley.

Paths and Routes

Cycle Route 3008 starts at Křimov station and leads to the former Third Mill in the Bezruč Valley. The 65-kilometre Stezka Českem na Chomutovsku route leads from Křimov via Hora Svatého Šebestiána and Blatno to Kalek. A cycling excursion from Chomutov through the Bezruč Valley, the Křimov Reservoir, Nová Ves and Výsluní leads around the Křimov Reservoir.

Nature and Landscape

The Křimov Reservoir serves primarily as a drinking-water reservoir for Chomutov. Access is restricted: the water surface and the dam are not freely accessible, and entering Protection Zone I is prohibited to the public.

In the wider regional surroundings of Křimov, the small Krásná Lípa Nature Monument protected area lies near the eastern edge of Krásná Lípa. It protects the critically endangered pasque flower (Pulsatilla patens), which grows there, and is considered the only known site of this species at the foot of the Ore Mountains.

History and Culture

The Church of St. Anne in Křimov was built in the mid-14th century. The originally Gothic church was extensively rebuilt around 1530; the west portal, the vault and the windows in the presbytery date from this period. The presbytery has a defensive upper floor with slit windows in the eastern and southern walls.

South of the Church of St. Anne stands a single-storey Baroque rectory from the last third of the 18th century. A wayside reconciliation cross by house number 47 is one of the listed historic objects in Křimov.

Railways and Regional Destinations

LOKO-MOTIV organises public special services, including traditional historic railcar services that run during the summer holidays from Klášterec nad Ohří via Chomutov and Křimov to Vejprty and back. A railway museum is being established at the former Křimov railway station; historic locomotives and railway carriages form the basis of the planned exhibition.

In the wider regional surroundings of Křimov, the remains of the vanished Hausberk Castle lie on Zámecký vrch, about one kilometre north of Krásná Lípa.
