City of Liberec

Liberec is the fifth largest town in the Czech Republic with more than 100,000 inhabitants - is situated in the north of Bohemia, surrounded by Jizera and Lužice mountains and the Krkonoše Mountain National Park. The city centre is well preserved and is protected by law as an urban monument zone. Liberec was once home to a thriving textile industry and hence nicknamed the "Manchester of Bohemia". For many Czechs, Liberec is mostly associated with the city's dominant Ještěd Tower. The drive from Prague to Liberec takes about an hour.

Jizera Mountains

Jizera Mountains, a landscape full of contrasts, which for its nature treasures was designated a Protected Landscape Area in 1968.

The most valuable natural phenomena have been conserved in less accessible places, on steep slopes, on screes, in high-altitude localities, in bogs, in waterlogged meadows and wetlands, especially beech forests, peat coenosis, mountain pine forest and herbaceous-rich and waterlogged meadows. These localities are mostly protected as small-scale conservation areas (national nature reserves, nature reserves and nature monuments).
