Ještěd
This mountain, barely over a thousand meters above sea level, is real a symbol for the whole of Liberec.

Liberec is simply a synonym for the surrounding mountains and rocks, but also a wonderful view. One hundred thousand inhabitants make it the fifth largest Czech city, which we would look for about ninety kilometers north of Prague. Apart from a few attractive ones architectural monuments attracts mainly the surrounding picturesque nature. And where will you go this weekend, do you already know?
