Nove Mesto pod Smrkem: Jizera Mountains - Smrk
Nové Město pod Smrkem combines a compact borderland townscape with the broad, forested slopes of the Jizera Mountains in a way that reflects its position beneath Smrk. This 1,124-metre mountain stands on the Czech–Polish border and is the highest summit of the range on the Czech side. Founded in 1584 by Melchior of Redern, the town developed in an area shaped by woodland, textiles and cross-border connections. Its streets and traditional houses meet meadows at the mountain foothills, while the higher ground forms part of the Jizera Mountains Protected Landscape Area. Smrk remains a focal point for walkers and cyclists, and its summit tower is a familiar landmark of northern Bohemia.

Nové Město pod Smrkem sits at the foot of Smrk Mountain in Czechia’s Jizera Mountains, where wooded slopes descend towards the Frýdlant foothills near the Polish border. Founded in 1584 by Melchior of Redern, the town grew from mining activity in the surrounding hills. Smrk, at 1,124 metres, is the highest summit on the Czech side of the range and gives the town its name. Today, the forests around town are crossed by Singltrek pod Smrkem, a network of mountain-bike trails.

Liberec, the regional capital, developed as an important textile-manufacturing centre; its 19th-century Town Hall remains one of the city’s defining buildings.

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.
