Přísečnice (German: Preßnitz) was a mining town in what is today the municipality of Kryštofovy Hamry in the Ústí nad Labem Region of the Czech Republic.

The surrounding area had been used by people in prehistory, but the oldest known archaeological evidence of medieval inhabitance in the area was a pyrotechnical object from the turn of the thirteenth century,[2] this was located about 1.5 kilometers southeast of the town.

[3]: 377 Přísečnice once sat on an important trade route from Saxony to Bohemia.

The road to Bohemia spanned from Saxon Zwickau via Schlettau to Přísečnice, from where two branches continued into the Bohemian interior; the first spanned via Louchov to Kadaň and the second via Výsluní to Kralupy u Chomutova.

[3]: 375–376  The first written mention of Přísečnice is from 1335, when John of Bohemia granted the inhabitants an exemption from customs.
