On the northern slope of the Ore Mountains, between Chomutov and Most, Jirkov grew as a coal and industrial town during the 19th and 20th centuries. Open-cast lignite mining reshaped the landscape south of the town, and although large-scale extraction has slowed, the scars remain visible in the terrain between Jirkov and the remains of villages that were demolished to make way for mining operations.
Roughly 21,100 people live in Jirkov. The town centre retains a church of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary and fragments of the original medieval layout, though much of the older architecture was replaced during the socialist period. Jirkov dam, built in the 1960s on the Bílina tributary northwest of town, serves as a water supply reservoir and a recreation area where swimming and fishing are permitted during summer.

Cross-country ski trails and hiking routes through spruce forests connect Jirkov's outskirts to the mountain ridge and onward to the German border at Deutscheinsiedel. The 2019 UNESCO inscription of the Erzgebirge/Krušnohoří Mining Region recognized the broader mining heritage of this cross-border landscape.
