Liberec

A mountainous area; the region is defined by the Lužicke and Jizerske mountains to the north and the Krkonoše to the northeast.  In the midst, right outside the city of Liberec is the towering and rugged Ještěd Mountain. This symbol of the region offers magnificent views of the surrounding valley; and on a clear day you can see straight to Poland. The unique tower perched on top was designed in 1973 by architect Karel Hubaček. Besides containing a communications tower; there’s also a restaurant and hotel there. The city of Liberec is a distinctive and modern one. Architectural styles range from 18th century classic style brick in the centre to well-preserved 19th century industrial.  The neoclassical town hall is quite interesting, as is the “villa quarter” with stately homes from the turn of the 20th century.
