Okounov is a small settlement in the Eger Valley, at the northern foot of the Duppau Mountains and above the Eger River. If you are looking for a landscape-oriented location for a family holiday, you can first place the surrounding area in context: the Ore Mountains lie to the north, while Okounov is situated on the north-western slope of Javor. For planning, the connection between the landscape, planned excursions and day-to-day mobility is therefore crucial.

The location between the Eger and the mountain ranges

This geographical classification helps you assess the location realistically: it is especially suitable if the landscape around your accommodation plays an important role in your planning.

Compare excursions and location before booking
Okounov is classified as a municipality with several local parts, including Krupice, Kotvina, Okounov and Oslovice. If you are planning a trip with children of different ages, you should therefore decide in advance which regional destinations you want to combine and whether the location is a sensible base for that purpose. Check the actual routes and transport connections rather than automatically assuming short excursion distances just because of the geographical proximity to mountain landscapes.
For each property, also check the facilities, shopping options in the surrounding area, pet policies and self-catering possibilities separately. The location above the Eger and on the edge of the mountains describes the setting, but says nothing about the features of an individual accommodation.
Arrival and rail connections
The Chomutov–Cheb railway line runs below Okounov. Perštejn station is in the valley at the Eger bridge, about one kilometre northeast of Okounov. Please check this specific distance as well as current timetables, connections and the practical accessibility of your accommodation separately before travelling.

Compare Okounov with the regional surroundings
Whether Okounov is the right base depends on your preferred mix of location, landscape and regional activities. If you want to plan several destinations in Okres Chomutov, you should compare their exact locations and the current transport connections with the accommodation’s position.
