Rokytnice nad Jizerou
– the heart of the western Giant Mountains
Rokytnice nad Jizerou is a charming mountain town situated above the Jizera River, surrounded by forests and peaks of the western Giant Mountains.
Rokytnice is one of the largest and most famous recreational resorts in the Czech Republic, yet it retains a peaceful and friendly atmosphere. In summer it attracts visitors to hiking and cycling trails, in winter it turns into a busy centre of skiing and cross-country skiing thanks to the Horní Domky and Studenov ski resorts. There are cosy cafés, restaurants and traditional mountain pubs. Thanks to its location, it is an ideal starting point for exploring the Giant Mountains and a place you will love to return to for comfort, clean air and beautiful nature.
Rokytnice nad Jizerou – the gateway to wandering along the ridges of the Giant Mountains
in summer it turns into a paradise for lovers of mountain nature, hiking and quiet wanderings. Surrounded by green slopes and sparkling forests, it is an ideal starting point for exploring the most beautiful parts of the western Krkonoše.
Just put on your hiking boots and set off – for example, along a relaxing route leading through Dvoračky, a mountain hut with a unique atmosphere and a view of the mountain panorama. From here you can continue on to the Elbe Spring, a place steeped in legend and symbolism, where the Elbe River begins its long journey across Europe. And if you feel like a real mountain hike, just continue along the ridges to Sněžka – the highest mountain in the Czech Republic.
Along the way, you’ll not only find breathtaking views, but also quiet forest stretches, mountain meadows full of flowers, wells and places where you can slow down and just be – in the silence of the mountains and under the open sky.
Rokytnice nad Jizerou is not only a place of relaxation, but also a gateway to a real mountain adventure. Whether you’re heading out for a short walk or a day hike, every journey with a view begins here.
