Korenov: Jizerka - rašeliniště
Jizerka is best known in Czechia for its remarkably preserved mountain settlement of dark timber houses with steep slate roofs. This small hamlet belongs to Kořenov in the Liberec Region and lies on a high plateau in the Jizera Mountains, close to the Polish border. The Jizerka River runs through surrounding peatland and meadows, while extensive spruce forests define the upland setting. Founded in the 18th century in connection with glassmaking, Jizerka retains the form and architecture of an isolated industrial settlement. The area forms part of the Jizera Mountains Protected Landscape Area, giving this historic hamlet a strongly rural, highland character.

Kořenov lies in the upper Jizera valley, where the Krkonoše and Jizera Mountains meet in northern Czechia. The dispersed municipality includes the settlements of Příchovice and Rejdice, set among spruce forests and upland meadows close to the Polish border. Its defining piece of engineering heritage is the mountain railway from Tanvald to Kořenov: opened in 1902, it contains the country’s only surviving rack-rail section and continues towards Harrachov. Above Příchovice, the stone Štěpánka lookout tower stands on Hvězda hill. Trails and winter-sports routes link the area with the surrounding mountain country.

Liberec Region is best known in Czechia for Ještěd, the mountain above Liberec crowned by its unmistakable hotel and television tower. In the country’s north, the region reaches from the Jizera Mountains towards the Krkonoše and Lusatian Mountains, while the Nisa River runs through Liberec and continues north into Poland and Germany. Liberec, the regional capital, developed as an important textile-manufacturing centre; its 19th-century Town Hall remains one of the city’s defining buildings. Borderland geography gives the area a distinctly Central European character, with mountain resorts, forest roads and historic towns close together.
