Železná Ruda Hotels and Accommodation

Železná Ruda is a ski resort winter holiday town high in Bohemian Forest in the Šumava mountains. The name Železná Ruda means iron ore, and dates back to its early mining years in the 16th century. Today, Železná Ruda is a maze of ski slopes and chair lifts, and it sits on the border with Bavarian Germany. The most imposing building in the town is the Baroque Church of Our Lady of Succor which was built between 1727 and 1732. Its unusual tower was a later addition in 1777. The church is very unusual and attracts thousand of visitors each year. There is also the Museum of Glass and Glass Blowing which is housed in what was once the home of former master glass blower K. Abel. The town gets very busy, especially in winter, so to avoid disappointment you should try to book one of the discount hotels in Železná Ruda as soon as you realistically can.
