'''Doupov Mountains''' ({{langx|cs|Doupovské hory}}, {{langx|de|Duppauer Gebirge}}) is a [[Cenozoic]] [[volcanic]] [[mountain range]] with the typical structure of [[stratovolcano]]. The centre of the stratovolcano was in the place of a former town of [[Doupov]].

The highest mountain is Hradiště (934 metres), the lowest point is by the river [[Ohře]] near [[Kadaň]] (cca 275 metres).

In 1945, most of the [[Germans in Czechoslovakia|German population]] [[Expulsion of Germans from Czechoslovakia|was expelled]] so that Doupov Mountains became almost completely unpopulated. It became an Army Training Area in 1953, and currently serves this purpose for [[NATO]] forces.
