Korenov: Horská služba - Jizerka
Among the mountain settlements of the Liberec Region, Jizerka stands out for its remote setting amid the peatlands and forests of the Jizera Mountains. Part of the municipality of Kořenov near the Polish border, it is a small, dispersed settlement shaped by meadows, spruce woodland and the Jizerka stream. Its origins lie in glassmaking, which brought workers to this highland area in the 17th century. Timber houses and traces of the former glassmaking landscape give Jizerka a distinctive character. It lies within the Jizera Mountains Protected Landscape Area, an upland known for peat bogs, forests and routes used by walkers, cyclists and cross-country skiers.

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.
