Mirova pod Kozakovem: Paragliding startoviště Kozákov - Vyhlídka na Trosky
Few places in the Liberec Region have a history as closely tied to semiprecious stones as Kozákov. This 744-metre hill rises on the northern edge of the Bohemian Paradise, an area of sandstone rock towns, woods and volcanic hills. Its slopes have long yielded agates, jaspers and other minerals, linking the area with stone collecting and cutting. Kozákov is also one of Czechia’s established paragliding sites. To the south stands Trosky, the ruin of a 14th-century castle, recognizable by its two basalt towers, Baba and Panna. Together, Kozákov and Trosky express the volcanic geology and medieval character of the Bohemian Paradise.

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.
