The Jizera Mountains and Ještěd Ridge are important recreation areas of the Czech Republic. In summer, the Jizera Mountains offer ideal conditions for hiking and cycling, in the winter for cross-country and downhill skiing.

The Jizera Mountains will simply take your breath away with their scattered peaks, forests of spruce and beech, tall cliffs, picture-perfect valleys, mountain villages and countless chapels, churches and cottages, which locals have looked after for centuries. Come and discover the history of the Czech Republic’s northernmost mountain range and leave with experiences even more memorable than the sparkle of the local costume jewellery. While exploring the Jizera Mountains, you cannot miss the region’s glassmaking tradition. The first glassworks appeared here as early as the 14th century. Over the years, the costume jewellery trade also prospered, its good name now bolstered by the Daniel Swarovski brand that originated in the area.
