Turnov: Ski resort Struhy
Ski resort Struhy sits on the edge of the Bohemian Paradise near the Jizera River in the Liberec Region of Czechia, where wooded slopes rise above the town of Turnov. This compact local ski area is built around a short open run and a surface lift, giving it a small-scale, neighbourhood character rather than the infrastructure of the Krkonoše resorts. Turnov is an established centre of Czech jewellery making: its tradition of cutting and setting Bohemian garnets is reflected in local workshops and the Museum of the Bohemian Paradise. The wider Český ráj landscape is known for sandstone rock towns, valleys and forested hills, and became the country’s first UNESCO Global Geopark.

Turnov combines the practical character of a regional town with the sandstone country of the Bohemian Paradise in a way that reflects its position on the Jizera River in northeastern Bohemia. The town stands close to the rock formations, woodland and historic castles of the Český ráj Protected Landscape Area, a region long associated with walking and climbing. Turnov is also one of Czechia’s principal centres for gemstone cutting and jewellery, particularly work with Czech garnets. The Museum of the Bohemian Paradise preserves collections devoted to the region’s geology, crafts and history, while Hrubý Rohozec Château rises above the Jizera nearby.

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.
