Korenov: Skiareál U Čápa - Kotvy Čáp a Jára
Kořenov has served as a mountain municipality in the Liberec Region since 1960, when the communities of Příchovice, Polubný and Rejdice were united. It lies in the Jizera Mountains near the Polish border, a highland of forests, scattered hamlets and terrain used for winter sports. Skiareál U Čápa is based in Příchovice and includes the Čáp and Jára surface lifts, with runs set across an open hillside. Příchovice also embraces the playful legacy of Jára Cimrman, the fictional Czech polymath: the village is home to the Jára Cimrman Museum and a distinctive wooden lighthouse. This compact corner of the western Jizera Mountains brings together local skiing and Czech humour.

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.

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.
