*The mountains have a changing history. They are rich of ores, minerals, water, wood and black coal by nature. But this is not obviously visible by tourists. A lot of explanation has to be made by guides or museums. Knowledge about history and environment would have to be transformed from scientific research into easily understandable tourist brochures.

Visitors coming to this region would be pleased to come at both sides of the border. From this reason tourism is the large opportunity for future co-operation of these areas. Unfortunately there is still a lack of language skills of the other language on both sides of the boarder (cp. (http://cdu-erzgebirge.de/2011-04/boehmisch-saechsische-tourismusregion-neue-qualitaet/ http://www.tschechien-portal.info/modules.php?op=modload&name=News&file=article&sid=4021&mode=thread&order=0&thold=0). Solving this is considered an important step to a cross-boarder tourism cooperation. Possible corporations are from the field of wood production and wood carving. But also development planning would be better to be done mutually, especially for tourism interests.

The quality of accommodation in villages is not as good as in cities and local infrastructure is predominantly unsatisfactory. The regional transport needs to be at least at “attractive” level and similarly reliable.

====Architecture====
====Architecture====


In the Most region, of course, Most is the biggest city. Besides, there are Litvínov and Jirkov. The old royal town Most with its ancient architecture is no longer visible, as the town was removed and rebuilt, due to mining activities. The changes of architecture within the time would be an interesting topic for architecture fans. This, as well as other chapters of history seem not be profoundly reappraised and information is not provided a lot. Little villages appear poorly maintained and predominantly their architecture is not very valuable.
