Liberec: Ski resort Ještěd
Built around a medieval market settlement, Liberec grew into the largest city in the Liberec Region. It lies in the valley of the Lusatian Neisse beneath Ještěd, the 1,012-metre summit of the Ještěd–Kozákov Ridge. Ještěd Ski Resort uses the mountain’s slopes above the city, with runs and lift infrastructure set among woodland. The peak is crowned by the Ještěd Tower, a tapered hotel and television transmitter designed by Karel Hubáček and opened in 1973. Liberec’s 19th-century expansion was driven by textile manufacturing; its richly ornamented town hall, completed in 1893, recalls that prosperous industrial era. The mountain and the city together give this part of Czechia a distinctive upland character.

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.
