The Ore Mountains or Ore Mountain Range in Central Europe have formed a natural border between Bohemia and Saxony for around 800 years, from the 12th to the 20th centuries. Today, the Czech Republic–Germany border runs just north of the main crest of the mountain range. The highest peaks are the Klínovec in the Czech Republic, which rises to 1,244 metres above sea level and the Fichtelberg in Germany.
The area played an important role in contributing Bronze Age ore, and as the setting of the earliest stages of the early modern transformation of mining and metallurgy from a craft to a large-scale industry, a process that preceded and enabled the later Industrial Revolution.
The Ore Mountains are part of the Ore Mountains/Vogtland Nature Park and a popular tourist destination. In 2019, the region became a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
