Its streets climb from the river valley toward the Jizera Mountains, while Proseč forms one of the city’s quieter residential areas, with houses and wooded slopes along local roads. The Museum of Glass and Jewellery in Jablonec documents the industries that gave the town an international name, notably glass beads and costume jewellery. The city’s nineteenth- and early-twentieth-century expansion left a substantial stock of civic and residential architecture around its centre.
