Several Primacies of Jáchymov Town and Their Significance for Geotourism

[摘要] The contemporary Jáchymov, a small spa town in Kruné hory in the Czech Republic, has always had an important role in the country's economy. Among the many ores in the Jáchymov deposit, silver and uranium have been most important. The discovery of silver ores attracted many people in the past, and soon one of the biggest towns in the country was established. The history of the town is connected with many famous scientists interested in inanimate nature, who either visited Jáchymov or lived there. Among the greatest personalities connected with the history of Jáchymov, there is Georgius Agricola and Marie Curie-Sklodowská. From the historical point of view, Jáchymov aspires to become an important centre of global geotourism in the future.
