Three kilometers southwest of Boží Dar lies the volcanically formed Božídarsky Špičak (God's Spitsbergen). At 1,116 meters, it is the second-highest peak in the Czech part of the Ore Mountains after the nearby Klínovec (Keilberg, 1,244 meters), and—surpassed by the Fichtelberg (1,214 meters) on the Saxon side—the third-highest peak in the entire Ore Mountains.

Božídarské Rašeliniště Boardwalk

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

Since 1977, a 3.2-kilometer-long nature trail on wooden planks has led through the Božídarské rašeliniště peat bog nature reserve. It features twelve stations with information panels. The 11.61-square-kilometer area has been protected since 1965. It encompasses a series of raised bogs with spruce, pine, Scots pine, dwarf birch, heaths, and meadows. A carnivorous plant characteristic of peat bogs, the round-leaved sundew, also grows here. The largest peat bog in the Ore Mountains lies at an elevation of 940 to 1116 meters; its specific mountain climate creates challenging conditions for animals and plants.

St. Anna Church, Boží Dar

Highlight • Religious Site

The third church building in the history of the mining town of Boží Dar (Gottesgab) was built in 1771 in the late Baroque style according to plans by the Prague architect Filip Heger. Previously, a wooden early Renaissance church had stood here since the 1630s, followed by a stone late Renaissance church from 1593 onwards. This church burned down in the mid-18th century and was replaced by the current church building. By the end of the 1960s, the church was in such poor condition that it had to be closed to the public for safety reasons. A fundraising campaign made the necessary repairs and the reopening of St. Anne's Church possible in 2016. Located at an altitude of 1,020 metres above sea level, it is not only the highest church in the Ore Mountains, the third highest church in the Czech Republic, and one of the highest town churches in all of Central Europe.

January 25, 2025,Kleine Morgenrunde in Boží Dar
I quietly and secretly circle around the moor nature trail in Boží Dar in the morning stillness.

And suddenly, I thought I was alone the whole way around, but someone came towards me in the undergrowth on the nature trail. We greeted each other briefly and then went on our way.

Today we wanted to do a bigger round with Gottesgab, Schwarzwasser Plattner Graben, but the ☔ 🌧 rain came on time in 🇨🇿. So we decided to cut back a bit and hike the Gottesgab peat bog. However, on time at the cemetery, the rain has eased significantly or even stopped completely in some cases.
That's how it worked to …

The Annaberg sauna had to wait. I spontaneously changed my mind and drove across the Weipert border, then took a cheap ⛽️ 🫠 and went to Bozi Dar to find the nature trail.
And found it 🙃, parked the car in the large parking lot for €4, and off we went...
It was super beautiful, pure nature...
And the town …
