From Bedřichov, head to the hunting chalet at Nová Louka and then to the intersection of various routes which is known as Hřebínek. There is a kiosk with refreshments there. Then turn left and head along the good quality forest road which will lead you to the intersection called Bílá kuchyně after 1.5 km. There is a beautiful view of the Jizera Mountains from there, but the most important thing is that the road now descends sharply along the Jeřice Stream Valley to Oldřichov v Hájích. The first structure you will come to is in the area called Na Pilách. Turn right onto the main road, cross over the railway crossing and head up the short climb to the Oldřichov Saddle (there is the option of taking refreshments in the stylised Hausmanka restaurant). The pleasant Viničná route turns off there. After passing through beautiful forest areas and past a number of cliffs, you will come to picturesque Ferdinandov and then to Hejnice. Hejnice is an important place of pilgrimage with the Church of the Visitation of the Virgin Mary. You should be sure to visit the church. Head from Hejnice to Bílý Potok, where an eight-kilometre climb to the popular Smědava chalet begins and then continue to the Kasárenská silnice (Barracks Road). Head along this road up a slight rise to the kiosk at Na Knajpě. Return to Hřebínek along the Štolpišská silnice (the Štolpich Road) via the Krásná Máří lookout (a lookout point offering a beautiful view of the Frýdlant area and the Ještěd and Lusatian Mountains) and then back to Jablonec via Bedřichov. The length of the route is ca 80 km (without using the cycle bus). Designated for fit cyclists. Q The Odra – Nisa international cycle trail. A successful joint project of the three countries (Germany, the Czech Republic and Poland), through which the route passes. It is a 591 km long route leading from the spring of the Lužická Nisa in the Jizera Mountains to the Baltic Sea (Ostsee). The first stage of this cycle trail starts in the Czech Republic near the municipality of Lučany nad Nisou at the spring of the Lužická Nisa River. The route continues along the flank of the Černostudniční Ridge and you will be able to see the stream grow fast from your bicycle saddle. Upon passing through the “glass” town of Jablonec nad Nisou, it takes in further tributaries and becomes a real river. The most beautiful view of the entire Jablonec Valley comes from the Petřín lookout, through which the route passes. Head to Liberec across the footbridge near the municipality of Rádlo and along the route, which deliberately avoids the town. The further destinations and interesting tips along the way: Ještěd, Hamrštejn Castle and Grabštejn. Once on German territory, the route enters the municipality of Hartau and you will soon come to 750-year-old town of Zittau (the narrow gauge steam railway is worth a visit) and the spa towns of Oybin and Jonsdorf. The next stage will take you through Lower Silesia, Lower Lusatia, Labuska Country, the Warthe River plain, the Lower Odra Valley, Western Vorpommern, the Stettiner Haff and on to the Baltic Sea. For further information, go to www.nisaops.cz. Do not hesitate to do this trip – just wait for some beautiful weather and head off on a trip of discovery. Q The footbridge between Dobrá Voda and Rádlo. Crosses the frequented I/65 road. The blue and red marked cycle trails head across the bridge. Q The Pašerácká cyklostezka (the Smugglers’ Cycle Trail) – this 40 km long route with four stops connects the Hrádek, Chrastava and Frýdlant micro-regions. It passes near the border with Germany and Poland and in places also crosses it. There is the option of connecting with the cycle trails in those countries.

Q The Krakonošova stezka ER – 2 (the ER-2 Giant Mountains Trail). This cycle trail leads from Bad Schandau in Germany through Frýdlant, Nové Město pod Smrkem and the northern flank of the Polish Giant Mountains and it ends in Lubawka. Q Cycle tourism trails around Štěpánka. These two routes offer something for everybody who likes beautiful nature and especially wonderful views of the landscape. The routes are marked with combined road and band markings – both are very easy to follow. The Famberka and Planýrka circuit. Q The Mlýnská (Mill) Cycle Trail. The “Mill” thematic cycle trail will take you from the square in Frýdlant up to the Frýdlant château. This section is still numbered as 3016 and it runs parallel with the “Krakonošová” and “Pohodová” trails. It turns off at the château as route number 3059 and takes you along a beautiful, physically undemanding valley through the Krásný Les forest and Řasnice, where you can also look at the famous blacksmith’s workshop of Ondřej Stelzig, the leader of a peasant uprising at the end of the 17th century. At the end of Horní Řasnice, the trail again turns off under route number 3006 to Jindřichovice, at the beginning of which you can visit the Žijící skanzen (Living Open Air Museum). The next section runs parallel to the “Environs of Jindřichovice, to the heights of ideals and the valley of the soul” teaching trail (Okolím Jindřichovic, za výšinami ideálů a do údolí duše) which is also suitable for cyclists, so you can also ride along its entire length. In the middle of the municipality, turnoff 3006B heads to the left and it will take you to the Kukačka border crossing point. Turn right about 700 metres after the border and the Polish cycle trail will take you to Czarci mlyn in Cziernawa Zdrój. This is a functioning mill which was originally water driven, but now has an electrical drive. You can buy freshly baked bread from the flour which is milled there. From there, you can return to the Czech Republic on the Krakonošova cyklostezka (Giant Mountains Cycle Trail) via Nové Město or you can continue further to Swieradów Zdrój. Another possibility is to turn left 700 metres after the aforementioned Kukačka border crossing point and to head to the Czocha château and the Lesnianský lakes. The cycle trail is marked in both directions at the main intersections with signs with the logo of a wind mill and the legend “Mlýnská”. Unfortunately, it has not been possible to negotiate a single route number for the trail from the beginning to the end, but possibly the number is not so important for a pleasant bicycle ride with interesting experiences. www.lunaria-jindrichovice.cz/cyklostezka
Q The Jára Cimrman Cycle Trail: “Around Liptákov by Bicycle”. The cycle trail is part of the project involving an extensive network of new cycle trails in the territory of the municipalities of the Tanvald Micro-Region which leads through Zlatá Olešnice, Tanvald - Šumburk, Sladká díra to Protržená přehrada (the Breached Dam), it disappears at the Jizerka - Orle Polish border and connects the Tanvald area with the cycle trails in the Bohemian Paradise, the Giant Mountains, the Jablonec area and Poland.
Q The first single track in Jablonec nad Nisou. GPS: N 50° 44‘ 18.302“ E 15° 10‘ 47.928“, N 50° 44‘ 15.26“ E 15° 10‘ 47.406“. What is a single track? This is the name for a winding forest terrain cycle trail which is environmentally friendly, safe for cyclists and has a narrowly delineated track. They were first built in Great Britain and in the USA and there has been one in operation in Jablonec nad Nisou since spring last year – it is the first in the Czech Republic. The trail was constructed by mountain bike volunteers under the supervision of the project initiator, Rebel Bike, a member of the Czech Mountain Bike Association. You will find the first testing 160 metres of this terrain cycle track between the Břízky sports facility and the Mšeno Reservoir.

The Czech genius Jára Cimrman, a dramatist, inventor, explorer, in whose footsteps many have tried in vain to follow, is irrevocably associated with this region, which is born out by some of the theatrical plays discovered in the forester’s lodge under Mariánská hora by a scientific collective led by Doctor Svěrák and Professor Smoljak. It has been possible to map several of his stops during his wanderings. One day, Jára Cimrman came from Pojizeří by train ... and after some time his steps were lost across the border in Silesia ...

The Jizera Mountains are among the most beautiful hiking areas in Bohemia. It is possible to spend a pleasant holiday there in both summer and winter. The plateau of the Jizera Mountains offers a range of trips for hikers, cyclists and cross-country skiers. During your wanderings, it is also pleasant to visit the Jizera Mountain lookout towers and many other viewing points. Unlike the higher Giant Mountains formed with barren plains, high ridges and hills, from which you can see into the distance, there are almost no distant views among the deep forests and cliffs of the Jizera Mountains. For this reason, the Jizera Mountains hiking and mountain associations began to sponsor the construction of lookout towers at the end of the 19th century. At that time, this was a highly prestigious matter. It can be said that they all arose at approximately the same time, but some of them have disappeared over time. Here, we can offer you a list of several stone and metal beauties which are worth visiting . . .
Do you know where these names come from? The ancient Celts named our mountains...... ISAR = swift/wild (river), in our case the River Jizera. This name has parallels in France, Germany, Holland and other European countries. RIGION = a tribal territory or also a kingdom. ASK – KÉT = an ash forest. It is thought that in this case, this involves the Czech name “Ještěd”. SUDÉTA = mountains of wild boar, in Czech “Sudety”, in English “the Sudetenland”. It is debated as to which mountains are meant. The theory that this involves the Giant Mountains (Krkonoše) of the Jizera Mountains has the most supporters. If you wish to learn more about our ancestors, we took this information from Zdeněk Knápek’s book “A Book for every Celt: the Truth about the Celtic Origins of our Nation”.

Lookout points Q Bílá skála – is the highest point of the Příchovice Ridge. It is a metaquartzitic block rising above the forest. A cross of the Roman Catholic parish was placed on the top of the cliff in 2000 – it is a replica of the pilgrimage cross from Mount Tábor. Q Dračí kámen (675 m above sea level) – this a popular hiking spot in Kateřinky above Liberec. The lookout point is associated with a legend about dragons. It provides a nice view both of Liberec and Ještěd and of Fojtka and Mníšek. Q Frýdlantské cimbuří (900 m above sea level) – is one of the most distinctive cliff formations in the Polední kameny Ridge (mountaineering terrain) and it is accessible along the yellow marked trail which turns off from the trail along the Černý potok valley. It has two peaks separated by a chasm. The cliff top offers a nice view of the lower positioned Polední zub and also the Upper Směda valley. It is an independent nature reserve – beech woods and dry spruce groves with rowan on the steep slopes of the Černý potok ravine with waterfalls.
Q Hajní kostel (730 m above sea level) – is located in the lower part of the Polední kameny Ridge. The original name of the Hainskirche can be translated as “the church in the grove” or as “the pagan sanctuary” and it is associated with pagan stories and other legends. It provides a view of the Směda valley and the Frýdlant area. Q Holubník (1,070 m above sea level) – this Jizera Mountains peak with a lookout cliff offers a magnificent panoramic view of Smrk, Paličník, Smědavská hora, Jizera, the Giant Mountains, Černá studnice.

The lookout point is located near the “Fipobex” excursion area in Pěnčín. You can also see the new animal enclosures (goats and sheep) at the goat farm from it. Q Jizera (1,122 m above sea level) – is the second highest peak of the Czech section of the Jizera Mountains which can be reached along a rocky path from the Štolpišská silnice. It provides a wide view of the mountain forests.
Q Jezdec (500 m above sea level) – is located near Liberec. It was once a small guard castle for the route from Bohemia to Frýdlant and Lusatia, but nowadays it provides a view of the Černá Nisa Valley. Q Kočičí kameny (570 m above sea level) – the lookout point is located to the north of the municipality of Bílý Potok pod Smrkem, near the well-known Hubertka chalet, at the intersection of a number of hiking trails. The lookout offers a view of the Smědá Valley, the municipality of Bílý Potok and the northern slopes of the Jizera Mountains. Q Kovadlina (520 m above sea level) – the lookout point can be reached from Lidové sady in Liberec and it is the highest point of the hill called Kovářský kámen. The view from it to the Harcov Valley is limited. Q Krásná Máří (900 m above sea level) – is one of the best known and most impressive Jizera Mountain lookout points in the Hejnice area of the mountains. It owes its high visitor numbers to its location on the Jizera Trail. A turnoff from the Jizera Trail will take you along a stony path to the lookout point which offers a wide view of the Frýdlant area and especially of the Upper Smědá Valley. Q Lysé skály (620 m above sea level) – this is one of the most jagged groups of cliffs in the Jizera Mountains and it offers one of the nicest views of the northern slopes of the mountains from Poledník to Smrk, Liberec and the Ještěd Ridge.

Nowadays, it is only a site with a poorly accessible cliff. Q Olivetská hora (886 m above sea level) – is located in the heart of the Jizera Mountains and it is surrounded by green forests. The New Pilgrimage Track to the Hejnice Madonna passes nearby. Q Ořešník (800 m above sea level) – is a dominant cliff which towers above Hejnice and is the most frequent destination for trips from Hejnice. There has been a cross on it since time immemorial. The lookout offers a beautiful view of the Hejnice church. Q Paličník (940 m above sea level) – is perhaps the most impressive of all the lookouts in the Jizera Mountains. The massive cliffs on the steep slopes above the Hájený potok stream are used as mountaineering terrain. It is easiest to get to Paličník from Bílý Potok along the yellow marked hiking trail along the Hájený potok Valley. The peak enables a fascinating view of the
The spirit Muhu. In the eastern section of the Černostudniční Ridge, there is a group of cliffs which is called Muchov. This name apparently comes from the name of the cliff spirit Mugu or also Muhu, whom our ancestors apparently worshipped as one of their gods in the times of ancient paganism. When they later accepted Christianity, they continued to tell tales of him as a good spirit and a protector of the region. Like all powerful spirits, Muhu was also able to change his appearance in a multitude of ways. Sometimes people saw him as a hermit or a monk, while others saw him as a wayfarer or even as a knight. People told many stories about the spirit Muhu – let us mention at least two: Muhu was always the defender of the animals and the birds. For that reason, he became very angry about the actions of the inhabitants of Stanovsko, who did not make their living by means of honest work, but by catching birds. They then sold the birds either into captivity or for selected delicacies on the tables of the rich. Muhu warned the people of Stanovsko many times, most frequently in the form of a poor wayfarer who came into the village and visited the individual bird catchers. But, it was in vain. And so he decided to punish the people of Stanovsko. In 1469, when Návarov was under siege during the reign of George of Poděbrady, its former owners called upon the people of Zittau and the soldiers of the Lords of Biberštejn for help. Muhu made use of this and led the soldiers to Stanovsko by deceit, whereupon the soldiers looted it and burnt it down and the villagers escaped with only their lives. Muhu, in the form of a knight, then strongly warned the people of Stanovsko against any further bird catching. For this reason, they all left the region together. The site of their village was only resettled by new settlers more than one century later. The hermit, Filip, who was often seen on Muchov according to folk tales, was also none other than the spirit of the local cliffs. To this day, people go to see the remains of a house in the Muchov forest which are called “Na Filipově”. Apparently, it was built by an unknown penitent who settled in the region and helped everybody who needed aid. He was especially well versed in curative herbs which he carefully collected and dried and then distributed to the ill. It was only after the first doctor appeared in Hamry that this enigmatic philanthropist disappeared even more mysteriously than he had first appeared. More legends can be found in Dr. Eva Koudelková’s book Legends from the Glassmakers’ Region – Folk Tales from the Jizera Mountains and Foothills from the Bor publishing house, www.naklbor.cz.
Frýdlant area and the entire northern slopes of the Jizera Mountains. On the eastern side, it is also possible to see Bukovec and the ridge of the Western Giant Mountains. It is an independent nature reserve – a protected old beech stand with English Gray Harewood, spruce and elm. Q Pohanské kameny u Višňové (297 m above sea level) – this consists of a group of granite cliffs near the municipality of Višňová. The German natural scientist von Vichrow, in whose memory there is a plaque on one of the cliffs, drew attention to the natural origins of the stone kettles at the beginning of the 19th century. According to ancient findings, it was the site of pagan sacrifices as early as 5,000 years ago. It still has a mystical importance. Q Polední kameny (1,006 m above sea level) – several lookout points are located on the ridge of the upper Polední kameny above the Frýdlantské cimbuří. A turnoff from the yellow marked hiking trail leads to the highest point of the ridge. The Polední kameny massif also includes Půlený kámen with the highest cliff kettles in the Jizera Mountains. It offers views of the Frýdlant area and the central section of the Jizera Mountains with the mountain Jizera. Q Ptačí kupy (1,013 m above sea level) – this consists of seven cliff groups which are situated in a wide circle. They are located near the trail leading from Hřebínek to Krásná Máří. Q Pytlácké kameny (975 m above sea level) – according to an old legend, the old poacher Hennrich once lived there. The area is accessible along a steep turnoff from the green marked track which follows the Central Jizera Ridge. The lookout from the rocks offers a panoramic view of the Jizera Mountains and the Giant Mountains and a view of the Great Jizera Meadow (Velká jizerská louka). Q Skalní hrad (600 m above sea level) – this is one of the granite crenellations in the beech woods stretching from Oldřichov v Hájích. It features in old bandit stories and according to legend a wooden fort once stood there. It provides a view of the meadows and fields of the Frýdlant area, the western section of the Jizera Mountains and the distant peaks of the Upper Lusatian Mountains. Q Sněžné věžičky (1,055 m above sea level) – a group of cliffs at the end of the track to the peak of Černá hora. Q The cliff lookout point on Tanvaldský Špičák – formerly Fanternstein, it is located near the lookout tower. It offers an engaging view of the wider environs. Q Šulíkova skála (650 m above sea level) – a natural lookout point along the way from Velké Hamry to Jírův kopec and on to Příchovice. Mystery lovers will be able to examine the strange groupings boulders there which have given rise to many questions over the years. According to some people, this is an ancient burial ground, but according to others it is similar to a group of boulders cleared from the fields. The cliff massif called Šulíkova skála is located in the saddle of the south-western ridge of Jírův kopec. This not overly well-known lookout point offers a view of the Kamenice River Valley and Tanvald, part of Velké Hamry, the Černostudniční Ridge, Buková hora and Tanvaldský Špičák. The mysterious name of the lookout point is probably associated with the nickname for some of the former inhabitants who cheated (in Czech “šulit”) during card games. Q Terezínka (623 m above sea level) – this lookout cliff on the flank of Mount Muchov was modified as a walled lookout point with a staircase in 1853. The owner of the Tanvald cotton mill, Johann Mayer, had it built and he named it after his wife Terezia. Mayer, who lived with his family in Vienna, also had the nearby Bálovka villa built as his holiday home. Terezínka is easily accessible from Tanvald along the red marked hiking track. The walk can be extended to include the climb up the Muchov cliff massif (787 m above sea level) where according to legend
page 6
the spirit of the Jizera Mountains, Muhu, lives. Q Tišina (873 m above sea level) – this involves cliffs on the south-western side of Smrk. It lies not far from the Francouzská cesta (French Track) and it offers a view of Bílý Potok and Libverda. Q Trniště (710 m above sea level) – the lookout point can be found in a cliff formation on Vysoký hřeben above Janov nad Nisou.

From Marek Řeháček’s introduction to the book “Thousand Metre Peaks in the Jizera Mountains”: “The central part of the mountains is characterised by its highland plateau which is located at an altitude above sea level between 800 and 1,000 m above sea level. In the north, slopes covered by characteristic beech growths with abundantly scattered granite cliffs descend to the valley of the River Smědá and to the Frýdlant Downs which are historically closely associated with them. The southern and south-western slopes of the mountains descend more gradually to the Valley of the Nisa, the Kamenice and the Jizera Rivers and, especially in the Jablonec area, they form a characteristic landscape of sober mountain municipalities with maintained environs. In the north-east, the mountains pass into the Polish part (Góry Izerskie), whose natural character is essentially the same as in the Czech part, except that they do not include compact beech growths. In 1968, the Jizera Mountains Protected Landscape Region was established in the territory of the Czech Jizera Mountains with an area of 368 km² and this is one of them oldest large-scale protected areas in the Czech Republic. The highest peak of the Czech section of the mountains is Smrk (1,124 m), while the highest peak in the entire mountain range is Wysoka Kopa (1,126 m) on the Polish side”.

His reign there did not leave any specific traces, for example in any new buildings or at least the modification of the castle or château. Frýdlant was not the place where Wallenstein built and developed his seat (that was in Jičín), but it became part of his prospering economic base which was so important in his successful prosecution of wars. Despite that, however, Albrecht von Wallenstein became one of the most significant figures in the history of the Frýdlant château. In 1628, he was awarded the title of Duke of Frýdlant and in his day he was also called “Friedland”. In this way, this powerful man spread the name of his Frýdlant estate around all of Europe.

Q Kovárna Ondřeje Stelziga (The Ondřej Stelzig smithy), Dolní Řasnice, by arrangement on tel.: 603 903 238 – Mr. Maršálek, ceskysvet@ seznam.cz, www.ceskysvet.cz / The house of the Dolní Řasnice blacksmith Andreas (Ondřej) Stelzig, house no. 27, still stands on the right-hand side of the road from Frýdlant to Jindřichovice pod Smrkem. It dates from 1618. The clever hands of the current owner, Mr Maršálek, have transformed an absolute ruin into a charming museum, where every item has its own more or less unbelievable story. Historical gems mix with funny items which also have their own irreplaceable place in the exhibition. After all, they were brought there by people who had been enchanted by a visit to the smithy! Luckily, some of the traditions from the lives of the inhabitants of the region have also been preserved for future generations along with the historical exhibition! The smithy’s forge went cold more than 100 years ago, but only until blacksmith products and tools were brought to the smithy from far and wide. Nowadays, the smithy has become a rare example of folk architecture. You will hear many interesting things from local history during the absorbing narrative.
Who was Andreas (Ondřej) Stelzig? “The Frýdlant Kozina” - Andreas Stelzig was a true son of his age. We admittedly do not know what he looked like, but it is clear from his entire life story that he was a bold person who commanded great authority and popularity among his peers.... In the 17th century, the Frýdlant estate belonged to Franz Ferdinand, the Count of Gallas. The living conditions on the estate were unsuitable for the serfs and this therefore led them to take a complaint to the authorities in 1679. Secret meetings were used to prepare for the event, representatives of the individual villages were chosen and money was collected to secure the needs of the delegation, which was to present a petition to Emperor Leopold I on behalf of all the serfs. The blacksmith from Dolní Řasnice, Ondřej Stelzig, was the main organiser of the entire movement from the very beginning. The petition contained 16 articles and it was a summary of the extensive complaints concerning the obligations of the serfs on that estate. It was submitted on 13.11. of the same year in Brandýs nad Labem, where the emperor was staying at that time. The rebels did not receive a reply, so they held further secret meetings in the Frýdlant area about their next steps, where Stelzig was once again the main speaker. Meanwhile, the Liberec Sherriff, František Flick, requested the administrator in Valtice, Jiří Speeth, who had served on the Frýdlant estate for a long time, both under the House of Gallas and under the House of von Wallenstein, to comment on the individual points contained in the petition on 19. 12. 1679. He did so and refuted each point, one after the other. The establishment therefore gathered together a sufficient amount of material to form the basis for an extensive official counter-petition. The arguments of the Frýdlant establishment were therefore victorious. Count Gallas expressly demanded that Stelzig should be given the strictest punishment and it took almost a year for him to be sentenced. At the beginning of 1682, Stelzig was banished forever from the Czech Kingdom and from the lands of the Czech crown and sentenced to ten years of forced work at the fortress of Ráb in Hungary. After the sentence had been passed, Gallas sentenced the reeves to the loss of their fiefs and fined them 300 gulden. An enforced peace reigned on the estate after the further defeat of the anti-establishment movement and after the sentencing of Ondřej Stelzig and the other participants. It never occurred to Count Gallas or to his officials that Stelzig could ever return. However, he managed to do so and his return after five years gave rise to a new wave of unrest, this time in 1688. All that remains of Stelzig today are some nice stories, a few shards and a monogrammed axe in his smithy. If you want to find out more about this figure from history, read the chapter from Jaroslav Čechura’s book Peasant Rebellions or the chapter by Rudolf Anděl in the book The Frýdlant Year of 1680.

He created thousands of drawings that document defunct and destroyed monuments. They are included in museum collections and are displayed at exhibitions, in encyclopaedias of folk art and in ethnographical publications. He wrote monographs on artists and documented the history of the region and its folk architecture. He is also the co-author of many ethnographical publications.

Who was the mysterious Doctor Kittel and what is his legacy? Jan Josef Antonín Eleazar Kittel (1704 – 1783) was a famous doctor from the border of the Jizera Mountains and the Giant Mountains. He came from a family of bonesetters and was gifted with exceptional curative skills. He treated aristocrats from the environs, from Prague and from Vienna and the poor from the wider area. He grew curative herbs at his home and used them to make ointments. He also used the curative waters from the local well. People had their own explanation for his talent and later wealth .... they suspected that he was in league with the devil and they called him the “Faust of the Jizera Mountains”. He supposedly flew among his patients by night on his cape and he was able to control the ravens using books of magic. In his enormous and mysterious house called Burk, he had a dissecting room, human skeletons, a glasshouse with rare herbs and a spa for water treatments. When he got older, he built a school, a well with healing water, a manse and a church (which was built next to Burk) with his own money in order to save his bartered soul. Nowadays, we know that this man was exceptional, that he was progressive and daring for his time, that he followed his heart and that he was able to renew the long lost connection between people and nature.

ZOO Liberec – A learning adventure The Liberec zoological gardens are the oldest zoo in the historical territory of Czechoslovakia. They were established in 1919 and as such they will celebrate the 90th anniversary of their establishment this year. The Liberec Zoo has around 170 species of animals with a total number of just under 1000 individual animals. Of that, 300 animals are classified in the EEP, ESB and RDB European breeding programs. These national programs endeavour to protect animal species which are threatened with extinction. The Liberec Zoo is unique in the entire republic due to its organisation – it also includes the Divizna Ecological Education Centre and the Archa Centre for Animals in Need with a station for handicapped animals. As a unit, the Liberec Zoo therefore offers a wide range of training programs, comprehensive environmental training services and care for injured animals from nature. Only the Liberec Zoo offers the opportunity to see white tigers (the only ones in the Czech Republic), golden takin (the only ones in Europe), blue nahury (the only ones in the Czech Republic), the largest group of Somali donkeys in the Czech Republic, the largest group of chimpanzees in the Czech Republic, the most comprehensive collection of birds of prey in Europe or a breeding pair of kea parrots from New Zealand.

WHERE TO F I N D WAT E R
The catastrophic floods of 1897 led to the establishment of a unique project involving the construction of reservoirs in the Jizera Mountains, the realisation of which was supposed to regulate the water levels and water management in the entire region in the future.
Water structures Q Bedřichov, GPS: N 50° 49‘ 12.09“ E 15° 08‘ 10.85“– the reservoir lies on the Černá Nisa and it was constructed by the company F. Ackermann from Klagenfurt in 1902 - 1906 according to the plans of Dr. Otto Intze MSc. This is a gravity dam built in a curve with a radius of curvature of 300 m, a height of 23.5 m above its foundations and a length of 340 m at the top. The total volume of the reservoir is up to 2.1 million m³. It is part of a hydroelectric facility, which also includes the almost 4.4 km long penstock with a surge chamber and the Rudolfov hydroelectric power plant. Recreation and fishing only occur sporadically here due to the unfavourable mountain conditions. Q Bílá Desná (the Breached Dam), GPS: N 50° 48‘ 04.46“ E 15° 16‘ 37.26“ – the earth damn on the Bílá Desná was built by the Prague company of Schön and Sons in 1911 – 1915. It rose 17.8 m above its foundations, was 244 m long at the crest and created a space for the retention of water in a valley reservoir with a total volume of 400,000 m³ of water. On 18th September 1916, just 10 months after it received its final approval, the dam ruptured and the break wave caused an enormous catastrophe in the municipalities along the Bílá Desná, the Desná and the Kamenice Rivers. The catastrophe claimed 62 human victims. It has been declared a cultural monument of the Czech Republic since 1996.
Q Mlýnice, GPS: N 50° 50‘ 31.48“ E 15° 01‘ 46.56“ – it was built by the Viennese company H. Rella and Nephew on the Albrechtice stream in 1904 - 1906 according to the plans by professor Dr Otto Intze MSc. This is a gravity reservoir and it has been built in a curve with a radius of curvature of 200 m, with a height of 22 m above its foundation and with a length of 159 m at the crest. The valley reservoir holds a total water volume of 271,000 m³. In summer, the reservoir is used for recreation and fishing. Q Mšeno, GPS: N 50° 44‘ 10.15“ E 15° 10‘ 22.55“ – the Mšeno reservoir is also the work of professor Dr Otto Intze MSc. It was built by the Prague company of Franz Schön and Sons in 1906 - 1909 on the Mšeno stream and it is currently the largest inner city area of water to the west of Lake Geneva. The dam was built in a wide valley in a curve with a radius of curvature of 350 m and it has a height of 20 m above its foundations and a length of 425.5 m at the top. It has been declared a national technical monument. The total volume amounts to 2.786 million m³ of water. It includes tunnels leading from the Lužická Nisa and the Bílá Nisa. The reservoir is an integral part of the recreational facilities in Jablonec. Q Souš, GPS: N 50° 47‘ 28.9“ E 15° 19‘ 05.73“ – this hydraulic structure was built according to the plans of Wilhelm Plenkner MSc in 1911 - 1915 on the site of the former settlement of Darré on the Černá Desná. The dam was built by the Combined Company for Railway Construction and Operations of Vienna. It is an earth dam which is 25 m high above its foundations and 364 m long at the top. It holds a total volume of 7.561 million m3 of water. The water surface takes up an area of around 86 ha and the depth corresponds to the height of the dam. In 1974, the reservoir was transformed into a drinking water source for the Jablonec and Tanvald areas and swimming is therefore prohibited!
Swimming pools, water areas Q Fojtka, GPS: N 50° 49‘ 34.85“ E 15° 03‘ 28.14“ – it was built in 1904 - 1906 on a stream of the same name, under the village of Fojtka near the municipality of Mníšek. The work was undertaken by the Viennese company H. Rella and Nephew according to a design by professor Dr. Otto Intze MSc. The mass of the dam is built in a curve with a radius of curvature of 175 m, it is 16 m high above its foundations and it is 146.2 m long at the crest. The reservoir holds up to 323,000 m³. It is used for swimming and fishing in the summer months. Q Harcov, GPS: N 50° 46‘ 15.44“ E 15° 04‘ 33.96“ – the reservoir was constructed on the Harcov Stream by the companies W. Streitzig and company from Liberec and H. Rella and Nephew from Vienna in 1902 - 1904 according to plans by professor Dr. Otto Intze MSc. The entire hydraulic structure consists of a gravity reservoir with a masonry dam built in a curve with a radius of curvature of 120 m, a height of 19 m above its foundations and a length of 157 m at its crest. This dam holds water in a valley reservoir at a total volume of 687,000 m³. Nowadays, it is used for recreation, water sport, fishing and so on. Q Josefův Důl, GPS: N 50° 47‘ 39.2“ E 15° 11‘ 37.94“ – it lies on the Kamenice River and it is the youngest reservoir of the Jizera Mountains. It was built in 1976 - 1982 (the initial intention to build the dam dates from 1906) and it consists of a main dam and a side dam. The main earth dam is 360 m long at the top and 44 m high above its foundation, while the side dam is straight, up to 20 m high above its foundation and 360 m long at its top. It holds 23 million m3 of water (more than all of the other Jizera Mountain reservoirs together). The reservoir is used to supply Liberec and Jablonec with drinking water and it is therefore not possible to swim in it!
