The Ore Mountains. Its 150-kilometer-long ridge marks the border between Bohemia and Saxony. German miners began searching for ores and minerals here as early as the 12th century. Until 1919, the people living here were almost exclusively the descendants of German settlers who once came from Upper Palatinate, Franconia, Thuringia, the Harz and Saxony. With the expulsion of the ethnic German population after the end of World War II, the Bohemian Ore Mountains, with a few exceptions, also had to leave their homeland. In this film, we want to cross the Bohemian Ore Mountains from west to east, talk to people who lived here and live here today, and of course show the picturesque landscape of this border mountain range.
