Vitkovice: v Krkonoších - v Krkonoších II, POI 1
Vítkovice has served as a mountain settlement in the western Krkonoše Mountains since the early 17th century. The municipality occupies upland ground in Liberec Region, amid the forested slopes, meadows and small valleys of Czechia’s highest range. Its dispersed farmsteads and hamlets preserve the settlement pattern typical of the Giant Mountains, where farming and forestry long shaped everyday life. The local Aldrov ski area is an established focal point for mountain recreation. Vítkovice also falls within Krkonoše National Park, whose protected terrain includes mountain grasslands, spruce woods and stream headwaters. Rather than a built-up resort town, it remains a rural base for exploring the western side of the range.

Winter sports are part of local life: the Aldrov area is a base for downhill skiing, while the surrounding terrain links with the region’s cross-country routes. Vítkovice also lies close to the protected landscapes of Krkonoše National Park, where mountain forests give way to open upland ground.

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.
