Old fortress with unique Medieval silver mine.
Hradek is an Gothic fortress, first mentioned in 1312. In the last years of the 15th century rebuilt in late Gothic style into an ostentatious mansion. At the same time there was a secret smeltery for silver ore stiling (heat treatment to remove foreign matter). Now, there is an exhibition of mining, an original mining machine from 16th century and Osel - a Mediaeval silver mine (without modern technology) which is open to the public.
