Smrk

The Jizera or Izera Mountains are part of the Western Sudetes on the border between the Czech Republic and Poland. The major part is formed from granite, with some areas formed from basalt. The mountains got their name from the Jizera River, which rises at the southern base of Smrk Mountain. The highest mountain of the Jizera is the Smrk with 1124 m.

Bohemian Paradise (Český ráj) is considered a unique region with extraordinary aesthetic value. It is an excellent place for romantics, hikers, and cyclists, and it is an absolute paradise for rock climbers. The inimitable charm of Bohemian Paradise, however, consists in the rock cities and in the hills of volcanic origin. Typical elements of rock cities include caves, sinks, rock gates and windows, which, when combined with castles, castle ruins and chateaux, give the entire region a romantic atmosphere.
