Lignite/coal mining area. Mining started in 1750 in nearby Kutterschitz (Chudeřice).

From Wikipedia:

Bílina (German: Bilin) is a town and municipality in the Teplice District in the Ústí nad Labem Region of the Czech Republic.

The name of the town originates from the adjective "white" (bielý in Old Czech). The term Bielina ("white/bald place") is etymologically derived either from the fact that there was an area without any wood or (maybe) from the sparkling waters of the river Bílina (formerly called Bělá).

The town of Bílina is in northwestern Bohemia, in the valley of the Bílina River between the Central Bohemian Uplands and the Ore Mountains. It is situated between two bigger cities: Teplice and Most.

The town is dominated by two features: the steep hill Bořeň 1 km south (from a certain point of view it resembles a lying lion) and the proximity of the giant brown coal mine Bílina, which seriously changed and damaged the surrounding landscape.
