Vysoke nad Jizerou
The landscape around Vysoké nad Jizerou is hilly and elevated, which has shaped both the built environment and local life. The town occupies ground in the western Krkonoše above the valley of the Jizera, with its compact centre arranged around a broad square and connecting streets. Vysoké received town rights in 1352 under Charles IV, confirming a role it had long held for settlements in this mountain area. Older town houses, municipal buildings and small businesses give the centre a distinctly local scale rather than the dense fabric of a larger Czech city. Beyond the square, roads descend towards the river valley and lead into the wooded Krkonoše uplands. The town is also closely associated with Czech skiing, a tradition that remains part of its identity.

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.

Prague’s historic centre, with Prague Castle and Charles Bridge, reflects the city’s long role as a political and cultural centre.
