Ponikla

Poniklá combines the industrious character of a Krkonoše foothill settlement with the slower pace of the Jizera valley, reflecting its position between mountain country and northern Bohemia’s long-established craft traditions. The Jizera runs through this wooded part of the region, where roads and homes follow the valley beneath the higher Krkonoše slopes. Poniklá is renowned for handmade Christmas ornaments assembled from blown glass beads, a local tradition inscribed on UNESCO’s Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity in 2020. Its small-scale workshops preserve techniques that give Czech festive decoration an unmistakable identity.
