Vejprty consists of three municipal parts (in brackets population according to the 2021 census):[2] Vejprty is located about 26 km (16 mi) west of Chomutov and 30 km (19 mi) southeast of Karlovy Vary.

The highest point is below the top of the mountain Vlčí kopec, at 970 m (3,180 ft) above sea level.

The mining settlement of Neugeschrei was established near the newly created adit, today the local part of Vejprty under the name Nové Zvolání.

In 1607, Emperor Rudolf II allowed all the miners and craftsmen settled here to deal freely with their property.

[3] Vejprty was badly damaged during the Thirty Years' War by the army of Johan Banér, and the mines were flooded.

The church tower was rebuilt after a fire caused by lightning in 1827, and in 1912 it was raised to a height of 53 metres (174 ft).
