Nové Město pod Smrkem sits at the foot of Smrk Mountain in Czechia’s Jizera Mountains, where wooded slopes descend towards the Frýdlant foothills near the Polish border. Founded in 1584 by Melchior of Redern, the town grew from mining activity in the surrounding hills. Smrk, at 1,124 metres, is the highest summit on the Czech side of the range and gives the town its name. Today, the forests around town are crossed by Singltrek pod Smrkem, a network of mountain-bike trails.
