Liberec: Ještěd
Tucked into the foothills of the Ještěd-Kozákov Ridge, Liberec is a city whose character is shaped by the steep, forested slopes of Ještěd. At 1,012 metres, the mountain is the highest point of the ridge and rises immediately southwest of the city. Its upper slopes form a long-established ski area, while paths and mountain roads cross the surrounding woodland. Ještěd’s defining feature is the combined hotel and television tower at its summit, a tapered structure designed by architect Karel Hubáček and completed in 1973. Below, Liberec spreads across the basin of the Lužická Nisa, close to Czechia’s borders with Poland and Germany. The mountain’s silhouette is inseparable from the city’s identity.

Ještěd Mountain defines the setting of Liberec — its 1,012-metre summit rises directly above the city, giving its streets a constant mountain backdrop. At the top stands the Ještěd Tower, a sharply tapered structure completed in 1973 that combines a hotel with a television transmitter. In the centre, the neo-Renaissance Town Hall, completed in 1893, anchors Dr. Edvard Beneš Square with its prominent tower. The Lužická Nisa flows through Liberec, which developed rapidly as a textile-manufacturing centre in the 19th century and lies close to the Polish and German borders.

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.
