  After mining ceased here, the Ore Mountains inhabitants had to search for new sources of income. Already by the end of the 16th century and particularly after the Thirty-year War some specific home manufactures appeared in the mountains. Most important in the region between Kraslice and Boží Dar was making bobbin lace, adopted from Annaberg in Saxony as early as 1561.
  In the 18th and 19th centuries, folk-musicianship was an important trade. Local wandering musicians went around all Europe, would play in small wandering groups or spa orchestras in Karlovy Vary, Teplice and elsewhere. Boží Dar musicians were known as "Fatzer". They would sometimes travel long distances to earn their living, well-known are their trips to Frankfurt, Berlin, St. Petersburg, Turkey and elsewhere. At the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries, Anton Günther went on with this tradition of folk-musicianship.
  In the 19th century, gloves and stockings were sown and paper cartons made in Boží Dar.
  Making bobbin lace, needlework, timbering, mushroom and wild-berry picking and selling (blueberries, cranberries), carrying trade, turf digging, cross-border smuggling and box making were common in Boží Dar up till 1945.
  In the Wunderblume restaurant, no longer existing, at the foot of Boží Dar Spicak peak, there was an exhibition of a unique series of paintings by Gustav Zindel, that depicted many typical Boží Dar occupations, e.g. mowing, cutting down trees, making bobbin lace, turf digging, blueberry picking, carrying trade and wood carving.
