Krompach: Reichenberger Region, Tschechien: Hochwald
Krompach combines a secluded mountain setting with a long cross-border character in a way that reflects its position in the Lusatian Mountains. The Czech municipality lies close to Germany among rounded, wooded ridges, with Mount Hvozd rising on the frontier nearby. Known in German as Hochwald, Hvozd reaches 749 metres and is one of the defining summits of this part of northern Bohemia. Settlement is dispersed among woods and meadows rather than concentrated in an urban centre. Krompach’s Baroque Church of the Fourteen Holy Helpers recalls the Catholic devotional architecture that forms part of the region’s heritage. The village is well placed for walks through the Czech-German borderland and the wider Lusatian Mountains.

Krompach straddles the Krompachský potok in the Liberec Region, and its position beneath the Czech–German border has shaped it as a small mountain settlement in the Lusatian Mountains. Forested slopes rise around the village, including nearby Luž, the highest peak on the Czech side of the range. Krompach lies within the Lusatian Mountains Protected Landscape Area, where marked paths connect woodland, sandstone formations and border-country hamlets. The Church of the Fourteen Holy Helpers is a notable local monument. Browse additional webcams across the Liberec Region to extend your view of the Lusatian Mountains.

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.

The terrain of Czechia ranges from fertile lowlands in southern Moravia to mountain ridges along the northern frontier, giving this Central European country a distinctly varied geography. The Vltava runs through Prague before joining the Elbe, while the Krkonoše form part of the border with Poland and include Sněžka, Czechia’s highest mountain. Prague’s historic centre, with Prague Castle and Charles Bridge, reflects the city’s long role as a political and cultural centre. Beyond the capital, Bohemia is known for spa towns and brewing, and Moravia for wine-growing traditions.
