Castles&Chateaus
Sychrov
The chateau was originally used as a representative residence of the noble Rohan family and today it is a popular site with filmmakers, as well as families with children. The advantage of the chateau is that it is open all year round.
Bezděz
Bezděz is often called the “king of all castles” for its original early Gothic appearance, which has never been tampered with, unlike most other castles. For this reason it certainly belongs among the Czech Republic’s more intriguing places of interest.
Trosky
The towers of the ruins of this Gothic castle are worth viewing not only set in the picturesque landscape, but also from those steep crags of volcanic origin in the surrounding area.
Nature
Ještěd
At first glance, it may appear that a spaceship has landed on the peak of the majestic Ještěd Mountain. This unusual structure in the form of a hyperboloid, which houses a hotel and a television transmitter, is a symbol of the region. Make your stay even more enjoyable by visiting its restaurant, or climb to its peak and delight in wonderful views of the entire Jizera Mountains.

Czech glass bead ornaments
Czech glassmaking and crystal production have had a tradition spanning many centuries in the territory of the Czech Republic. And in the area near the Krkonoše (Giant Mountains) in the village of Poniklá, a completely unique tradition unparalleled anywhere in the world is alive to this day. Rautis, a company manufacturing ornaments from glass beads, is based there. The secret of production in manufactories is only known to a small handful of people and, as a result, the products are unique.
Jizera Mountain Beech Forest
The Jizera Mountains Primeval Beech Forests, protected by UNESCO, cover an area of about 27 square kilometres on the north-east hillside of the Jizera Mountains in North Bohemia. However, this is not a protection of one isolated area, but an incorporation in existing localities protected under the Ancient and Primeval Beech Forests of the Carpathians and Other Regions of Europe. This item on the world heritage list includes about a hundred localities in twelve European countries.
Spa
Libverda
The spa is located in a picturesque valley in the northern part of the Jizerske Mountains. Spa Libverda is situated at 424 m above sea level, in the Czech Republic, close to the border with Poland and Germany.
