Northern Bohemia is the paradise for skiers and lovers of nature.
The Protected landscape areas Jizerské hory and Lužické hory and National park Krkonoše are located in the region. Folk wooden buildings and stone look-out towers have preserved on many places of the region. Máchovo jezero (Máchovo Lake) and the area of Holanské rybníky (Holanské artificial lakes) can be recommended to the fans of water sports. The whole region is interweaved with numerous cyclist routes. One of the most popular resorts for cross-country skiing – Jizerská magistrála- is located in Jizerské hory. Several towns have also long glass-making tradition.
