The www.liberecky-kraj.cz tourist portal The Liberec Region has a tourism web portal at www.liberecky-kraj.cz which constitutes the most extensive database of tourist information in our region. The aim of this presentation is the promotion of historical monuments, tourist attractions, options for active holidays and a wide range of services in the area of tourism. At present, the portal exists in 6 language versions: Czech, English, German, Polish, Dutch and Russian. Moreover, all of the data, photographs and other information have been transferred to a common data warehouse with the option of the very simple sharing of this data with further websites. At the same time, the editorial system enables all collaborators-editors to participate in the updating of the information. This cooperation not only leads to a significant reduction in costs during the administration of the individual web pages, but also to their high state of currentness. And what awaits the visitors to the www.liberecky-kraj.cz website? Apart from the aforementioned articles and tourist attractions, the portal also offers a map portal, an event calendar, a video gallery, classic and panoramic photographs and virtual photography, a catalogue of services and products on offer and tips for cycle and walking trips where it is also possible to print out a wide range of services in the area of accommodation, catering and cultural events. The Benefit Program The BENEFIT tourist card enables you to make significant savings when undertaking sports and other activities in the Jizera Mountains. The card is available at the majority of information centres and at selected accommodation outlets in the region for 35 CZK. The current discounts at the individual places can be found on the tourism server www.severnicechy.info. first passes through a 15 km flat section from the town of Jelenia Góra to Piechowice, from where it then twists upwards and gradually gains height through a series of long turns. The train windows present a unique view of the northern slopes of the Giant Mountains. On the other hand, the builders on the Czech side of the mountains wanted to shorten the track from Tanvald as much as possible. The steep climb which regular locomotives would not have been able to overcome was made possible by the addition of a rack bar between the rails which the locomotives use to ascend the mountain. As well as this, a number of tunnels were also cut along the track. The longest of them is almost one kilometre long (for a long time, this was the third longest tunnel in the Czech Republic). The new delineation of the borders after the 2nd World War and the severing of economic and social links meant the discontinuation of operations. However, the line, built with proverbial German thoroughness, survived without any significant damage up to the beginning of the 1990’s when it once again became possible to organise a number of special trips after changes in the political conditions had occurred. The immense efforts of a number of enthusiasts and local authorities resulted in the commencement of the reconstruction of the line in 2009. The work was completed one year later and regular train operations became possible. The repairs were largely financed from contributions from the European Union. During the tourist season, the timetable currently offers five pairs of trains a day between Szklarska Poręba and Harrachov or Kořenov, where it is possible to change onto Czech Railways’ trains which travel inland. The transport in the cross-border section is provided by the Viamont Regio Company and then by Przewozy Regionalne on the Polish side, which also operates the connecting passenger trains to Jelenia Góra. It is possible to travel in the Kořenov – Harrachov section of the line for the Czech Railways or Viamont tariff depending on the chosen train. The IDOL tariff also applies to this route. The Przewozy Regionalne tariff applies on the Polish side and the ticket price must be paid in Polish zloty. The ticket price for the section from Harrachov to the state border By Train Silesia was built at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries mainly for the transportation of high quality Upper Silesian coal to the local glassworks. The builders on both sides of the mountains chose different solutions to deal with the height difference between the valley and the Novosvětský Pass which the trains pass through in order to overcome the Giant Mountain Ridge. On the Polish side, the track through the Giant Mountains to Poland In August 2010, passenger train operations were renewed on the unique Harrachov – Jakuszyce – Szklarska Poręba mountain track after a break of 65 years. If you visit this area, be sure to take a train ride to the Polish side of the Giant Mountains. The railway line connecting the LiberecJablonec agglomeration with a number of centres in the Giant Mountains and Upper is 8 CZK, it costs 3.50 PLN to travel from the state border to Jakuszyce and then a further 4 PLN to travel to Szklarska Poręba. However, the tickets issued to the point of Harrachov - state border are also valid to the Jakuszyce station and the tickets issued to Jakuszyce – border (granica państwa) are also valid to the Harrachov station. Moreover, the LibNet+ and LibNet5+ network tickets are accepted in the trains, as are the Czech Railways’ SoNe+ (only to Jakuszyce) and SoNe+PKP (to Jelenia Góra) weekend offers. Further offered discounts and contractual transport conditions are set out on the carriers’ websites at www.viamont.cz, www.cd.cz and www.przewozyregionalne.pl (in Polish). The timetables can be found at www.iidol.cz and on the websites of all the carriers. page 3 HIKING POINTS OF INTEREST AND NATURAL MONUMENTS What did glassmakers eat? Life in the Jizera Mountains was influenced by a number of factors which differed from those in agricultural areas. These especially involved the altitude above sea level, the harsh climatic conditions and the low fertility of the stony soil. The conditions in the higher locations were not suitable for cultivating the land and the inhabitants therefore fed themselves from humble cattle breeding or home production. Later, the fast growing textile and glass industries brought increasing numbers of people into the Jizera Mountains in search of work and new houses, whose owners did not have any land apart from some flower beds or part of a meadow, were built in the villages in increasing numbers. Much has been written and published about life in the Jizera Mountains. But it is only with some difficulty that we can imagine what the glassmakers’ life really tasted like. Despite that, it is tempting to try and place yourself in the midst of the lives of our forebears. If your wish to experience the recent past, while at the same time enjoying the present with all of the beauty of the contemporary Jizera Mountains, we can offer you several culinary delights from our great-grandmothers’ cookbooks. for a short time. Add the salt and caraway to the prepared mushrooms and stew them for about ¼ hour. Add the steamed mushrooms and the remaining seasonings (garlic, pepper) to the groats. Mix together and then pour the mixture out onto a greased baking tray. Butter the surface and place it in the oven to bake for 20 minutes. “Kuba” with mushrooms 300 g of groats; ¾ l of water; salt; caraway; garlic; pepper; 1 small onion; 60 g of lard; 150 g of dried mushrooms Wash the groats in cold water and leave them to drip dry in a sieve. Wash the dried mushrooms and soak them in cold water for 1 hour. Drain off the water and cut up the mushrooms. In the meantime, sauté the onion in a saucepan until golden brown, place the groats in the saucepan and sauté Griddle cake made from boiled potatoes 1 kg of potatoes; 80 g of flour; 10 g of salt Peel the freshly boiled potatoes and mash them with a rolling pin while still hot. Work the potato together with the flour and salt. Roll out the griddle cakes which are cooked on a dry hotplate. Grease the cooked griddle cakes with butter or lard. Jizera Mountains Regional Product floods THE AUGUST Healthy and tasty food or original gifts with the new Jizera Mountains Regional Product logo. A new regional product logo was established in October 2010 and producers from the Jizera Mountains area have since expressed great interest in it: this logo can currently be found on 30 products. The certification is mainly based on local origin and production, but brand tradition, the share of work done by hand, the originality and the environmental friendliness of the production process are also evaluated. The symbol does not replace any currently existing symbols or certification, but it merely makes consumers aware of the origins of the product page 4 in relation to the natural, cultural and historic values of the area of the Jizera Mountains. The certificate can therefore be found on wooden jewellery and toys, glass beads and costume jewellery, rings made of precious metals, ceramics, textile products, butter and milk products, honey, regional beer, wine and herbal syrups. Visitors will usually find the products with the Jizera Mountains Regional Product logo directly at the manufacturers’, but some of these products can also be found in other shops or galleries. The process of finding these products has been simplified by means of a catalogue which is available at the tourist information centres. The labelling of local production from the area of the Jizera Mountains has been supported by the Rural Development Program. THE AUGUST FLOODS IN THE LIBEREC REGION The Liberec Region was hit by flash floods in the early hours of the morning on 7. 8. 2010. These floods were the third most destructive in the Czech Republic since 1997. The municipalities within the territories of Frýdlant, Liberec, Nový Bor and Česká Lípa were most affected, while Jilemnice, Tanvald and Semily suffered less damage. In total, the territories of 79 municipalities were affec ted (36 % of all of the Region’s municipalities), as was an area of 1,689 km2 (53.4 % of the Region’s area). Roads, bridges and footbridges were mostly damaged in the affected municipalities, but supplies of gas and electricity were also cut off, cell phone networks went down and it was difficult to make contact with the municipalities. The water mains and sewer networks were damaged, as was the electrical distribution system, including the transformer stations. Significant damage occurred to the private property of citizens and companies, including real estate. There were landslides, the banks of watercourses were worn away and the watercourses themselves were silted up and the riverbeds became impassable and a number of hydraulic structures were damaged, including reservoirs, fishponds and the vegetation in their environs. More than 1800 households were affected and the total damages have exceeded 8 billion CZK. The floods destroyed more than 60 monuments and tourist attractions: 1.5 million CZK have been earmarked for the preservation of 13 of them from the Liberec Region’s grant program at the Culture, Heritage and Tourism Department. During the course of the rescue and disposal work, the police, soldiers and professional fire brigades and rescue ambulance crews were assisted by hundreds of volunteers, humanitarian and non-profit organisations and units from the Integrated Rescue System with technology from the entire Czech Republic. The damage to property is extensive and the full renewal of the territory will be a long-term matter. The Liberec Region has announced the “Liberec Region – 2010 Floods” public appeal, the aim of which is to secure funds to assist the areas of the Liberec Region affected by flooding. It is possible to send financial contributions to this flood appeal: the account number is: 99111199/0300. HIKING POINTS OF INTEREST AND NATURAL MONUMENTS 3. Ještěd 5. Královka 11. Smrk 13.

You will find the best History and the glass tradition The very oldest records speak of the Jizera Mountains as a region with dense and, in some places, impenetrable forest growth which was alternately settled by Czechs and Germans. The first settlers were therefore mainly charcoal burners and foresters. However, livestock breeding and linen weaving soon appeared and the first mention of glassmaking dates from the 14th century. It was precisely that which designated the character of the entire area and it particularly meant that Jablonec nad Nisou (known at that time as Gablonz) became internationally renowned. Franz Kunze, the Wanders, the Schurers, the Preusslers, the Ewalds and especially the Riedels laid the foundations for the fame of Jizera glassmaking. Reminders of these beginnings and of the more famous period of the 19th century can be found in every village in the Jizera Mountains. Large and small glass pressing plants, including those adjoined to cottages, water raceways and the representative houses or stately gravestones in the cemeteries are evidence of the wealth and pride of the glassmakers and merchants.

This significant event is always held in summer and winter in 2-yearly cycles. The initiator is the Association of European Olympic Committees. The high prestige of the aforementioned festivals which are considered to constitute a springboard into the big world of sport is also born out by the fact that they include official (opening and closing) ceremonies, the Olympic flame is lit throughout their duration, the athletes and referees take an oath, the state anthems are played during the medal ceremonies and the flags of all the medallists are raised. The motto of this year’s EYOWF 2011 in the Liberec Region is: “Rise above the crowd, make your mark!”. In this spirit, young European sportspeople will compete for 207 medals in eight classic winter disciplines – ski jumping, Nordic combined, cross-country skiing, Alpine skiing, snowboarding, biathlon, ice hockey and figure skating. 1500 sportspeople from 49 countries in Europe are expected to attend and, as the stated figures show, this is the largest sports event in the history of the Czech Republic. The festival’s individual disciplines will be hosted by sports facilities in the Liberec Region: Alpine disciplines – Liberec, Ještěd; Cross-country skiing – Liberec, Vesec; Ski jumping – Liberec, Ještěd; Nordic combined – Liberec, Ještěd, Vesec; Ice hockey – Liberec, Tipsport arena; Figure skating – Liberec, Svijanská arena; Biathlon – Jablonec nad Nisou, Břízky; Snowboarding – Rejdice, Snowpark tens of kilometres of groomed trails including the interconnection of the “Jizera Skiing Trail Network” and the “Giant Mountains – CrossCountry Skiing Paradise”. The organisation has placed informative maps throughout the entire territory with the groomed trails in order to enable tourists to find their way more easily and to support its services. It is possible to support the maintenance of the cross-country trails and the Jizera Mountains For You public service organisation (JIZERKY PRO VÁS, o.p.s.) financially by means of sponsorship gifts and by purchasing the stickers at the Kořenov Information Centre.

The “Bieg Piastów” race, the oldest and largest Polish mass skiing race which has been included in the WORLDLOPPET international longdistance skiing league, is held there. The centre offers more than 150 km of cross-country trails of varying degrees of difficulty which are located in the Jizera Mountains, partially in the territory of the Szklarska Poręba Forest Administration and partially in the territory of the Świeradów-Zdrój Forest Administration. They are connected to a number of Czech trails which form a total network of almost 200 km of cross-country skiing trails. Jizerky pro Vás The Jizera Mountains For You public service organisation was established by the Municipality of Kořenov in 2008 in order to support the development of tourism and care for the landscape of the Jizera Mountains. The organisation’s activities mainly focus on the following pursuits: support for the development of tourism services, the development of the Kořenov Information Centre (located in the “Motorest” building and operated by the Jizera Mountains For You public service organisation) including the administration of the website, the maintenance of the cycle and cross-country skiing trails in the area of Kořenov and Paseky nad Jizerou with the aim of supporting the Jizera Mountains and the Giant Mountains, care for the landscape and the preservation of the cultural and natural heritage in the form of the repair of small-scale monuments. These activities also include the sale of typical and traditional regional products from the Jizera Mountains and the Giant Mountains and the publication of an Accommodation Catalogue for the Kořenov area and for the regions of Paseky nad Jizerou and Szklarska Poręba together with a hiking map of the region. In 2011The Jizera Mountains For You public service organisation has plans to reconstruct the almost defunct Chapel of St. Gothard located under the Sun Chalet (Sluneční chata) in the cadastral territory of the municipality of Český Šumburk. The reconstruction will take place with the help of the Micro-Project Fund, Goal 3 the Czech Republic – Poland which has also supported the organisation’s other plans via the Nisa Euro-Region.

The slopes in the local terrain do not have the length or demanding nature of those in the neighbouring Giant Mountains and as such they are excellent for beginners and medium-advanced skiers. Advanced skiers can also ski some of the black downhill slopes (on Spičák, and Ještěd and in Harrachov). One feature of the downhill skiing in the Jizera Mountains involves the existence of a number of small skiing facilities which are family-friendly and offer favourable prices. You can find the locations of most of the skiing facilities on the map on the previous pages under the number in the black box. ski slope length 3 difficulty – easy 7 difficulty – medium 1 difficulty – high aerial tramway chair lift ski tow children’s ski tow magic carpet technical snow cover evening skiing snowboarding snowboard park snowtubing skiing school ski hire ski service car park restaurant refreshments credit cards accepted ski-bus A summary of the Jizera Mountain skiing facilities 1 Bedřichov info ski tow, tel.: 603 781 848 info skiing school, tel.: 604 581 037 www.skijizerky.cz 2 The Valeš Skiing Centre Bedřichov 180 tel.: 602 119 226 [email protected], www.penzion-vales.cz 3 U vodárny Bedřichov tel.: 483 380 796, 603 399 302 www.activeguide.cz/nas-lyzarsky-areal.htm 4 Severák info ski tow, tel.: 604 516 733 info skiing school, tel.: 605 907 935 www.skijizerky.cz 5 Pohoda Nová Ves nad Nisou tel.: 731 565 447 [email protected], www.vlek-novaves.cz 6 Lučany nad Nisou tel.: 483 300 023 www.lucany.cz 7 Peklo a Lucifer Josefův Důl tel.: 483 381 227, 602 879 598 www.skilucifer.cz 8 The Albrechtice v J. h.

Poland Świeradów-Zdrój The history and tradition of the town is connected with the so-called “holy spring” described by Leonard Thurneysser and Kaspar Schwenckfeld as being a mineral spring which is comparable in its quality with the curative waters of the spas in Belgium or in Hungary. The Świeradów Spa has a 250-year history and its natural resources enable it to offer curative procedures and wonderful relaxation. The spa focuses on the treatment of illnesses of the joints and muscles, rheumatoid, neurological and gynaecological illnesses, circulatory illnesses, high blood pressure and osteoporosis. Czerniawa-Zdrój The spa activities in this small part of Świeradow-Zdrój began in the 19th century. By 1973, it had become an independent spa which was founded in the settlement of Czech religious refugees established in the 17th century. In 1969, the “Czerniawianka” curative mineral water began to be bottled. According to research, the water cleans the body of heavy metals and reduces the sugar levels in the blood. The use of the natural richness of the mineral water and the exceptional microclimate has meant that this area has long served in the treatment of sick children, while later part of the “Świeradów-Czerniawa” spa also focussed on treating adult patients. A number of schools work in cooperation with the spa hospital and offer parallel teaching at primary school and afternoon activities. The Czerniawia-Zdrój spa treats illnesses of the upper respiratory tract, asthma and inhalatory and pollen allergies. The Magnet Family Centre, Jablonec n.

X. Šalda F. X. ŠALDA THEATRE IN LIBEREC page 22 65 years ago, in September 1945, the curtain first rose on a performance of Jirásek’s tragedy “Gero” at the start of the activities of the Czech theatre in Liberec. Since then, many excellent artists who were involved in creating the image of the Czech theatre in opera, drama and ballet have walked the boards of the Liberec stage. Of these, we should at least mention the conductor Rudolf Vašata, the director Ivan Glanc and the choreographer František Pokorný. At present, the F. X. Šalda Theatre has three companies and two stages (the classical facility of the F. X. Šalda Theatre and the variable Small Theatre (Malé divadlo)) and as such it is one of the most significant theatres in the Czech Republic, whose productions are acknowledged both in domestically (regular no- minations for the Thalia Awards) and abroad. The most successful productions of 2009 included the swing musical Sugar set to the motifs of the famous film Some Like it Hot, the pair of Italian veristic operas the Farmer Cavalier and the Comedians, the English comedy the Family is the Basis of the State and the ballet productions Masquerade, Witch’s Love and Joking.
