Janske Lazne: Janské Lázně, Černá hora - Hoffmanky

Tucked along the lower slopes of Černá hora in the Krkonoše Mountains, Janské Lázně is a place whose character is shaped by thermal springs and mountain terrain. The town is one of Czechia’s established spa resorts, with a healing-water tradition documented from the 17th century; rehabilitation care remains part of its identity. A gondola from the centre rises to Černá hora, placing ski slopes and marked walking routes close to the spa streets. In winter, the resort forms part of the wider ČERNÁ HORA – PEC ski area, while warmer months bring hikers and cyclists to the ridges and forests of the Krkonoše.

The Krkonoše Mountains and the upper Elbe define much of Královéhradecký kraj - mountain resorts and winter sports have long supported its tourism economy. On the Polish border, Sněžka reaches 1,603 metres, making it Czechia’s highest mountain, and stands within Krkonoše National Park. The Elbe rises in these mountains before flowing through the region’s lower country. Hradec Králové, the regional capital, combines a historic core with notable early-20th-century architecture linked to Josef Gočár and Jan Kotěra. Farther east, the sandstone formations of the Adršpach–Teplice Rocks introduce a sharply different terrain.
