Svetla pod Jestedem: Ski resort Ještěd - Liberec
Ještěd sits on the Ještěd–Kozákov Ridge in northern Czechia, where its 1,012-metre summit rises above Liberec and the Liberec Basin. The peak is crowned by the Ještěd hotel and television tower, a tapered hyperboloid designed by architect Karel Hubáček and completed in 1973. Its unmistakable form has become the defining emblem of Liberec, the regional capital below the mountain. Ještěd Ski Resort occupies the upper slopes, with downhill runs and lift infrastructure set into the wooded ridge. The setting brings together Liberec’s dense urban fabric, farmland around the basin and the higher forested ground of the ridge.

Světlá pod Ještědem lies along the lower slopes of the Ještěd–Kozákov Ridge, where a gently rolling rural landscape rises towards Ještěd Mountain. Above the municipality stands the summit’s unmistakable hotel and television tower, a hyperboloid landmark designed by architect Karel Hubáček. The area is also closely associated with the 19th-century Czech writer Karolína Světlá, who adopted her literary name from this settlement. Small hamlets, fields and woodland give the municipality a distinctly foothill character beneath one of northern Czechia’s best-known peaks.

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.
