Hejnice

Hejnice is best known within Czechia for the Basilica of the Visitation of the Virgin Mary, a major pilgrimage church beneath the Jizera Mountains. The town stands on the Smědá River in northern Bohemia, close to the Polish border and surrounded by the wooded slopes of the Jizera range. Its Marian pilgrimage tradition developed around a medieval devotional image, while the present Baroque basilica was built in the 18th century and remains the focal point of the compact centre. The adjoining former Franciscan monastery adds to Hejnice’s long religious identity, and mountain routes begin close to town.
