Rokytnice nad Jizerou: Ski Resort Rokytnice
Built around mountain settlements in the Huťský potok valley, Rokytnice nad Jizerou grew into one of the principal resort towns of the western Krkonoše Mountains. The Rokytnice ski resort spreads across forested hillsides and open runs in the Horní Domky and Studenov areas, with terrain rising towards Lysá hora, at 1,344 metres. The Jizera River runs through the town’s wider valley, while the surrounding ridges form part of the Czech Republic’s highest mountain range. First recorded in 1574, Rokytnice developed through glassmaking, weaving and other mountain trades before tourism became central to its identity. Its dispersed mountain architecture and working valleys give the resort a settled, distinctly Krkonoše character.
