Jilemnice: AREÁL HRABĚNKA Jilemnice
Jilemnice has served as a market town in the foothills of the Krkonoše Mountains since the Middle Ages. Areál Hraběnka belongs to a town closely associated with the beginnings of organised Czech skiing: the first ski race in the Czech lands was held here in 1893. The sports complex is used for cross-country skiing and biathlon, while its grounds also accommodate other training and community activities. Jilemnice lies on the western side of the Krkonoše foothills, a landscape of settled valleys, wooded slopes and routes leading towards the mountain range. The Krkonošské Museum preserves material on local life and the history of skiing, placing Hraběnka within a long-running regional sporting tradition.

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.
