 Jested in late March by german_eagle
The mountain is excellent for skiing, snowboarding, cross-country skiing, hiking ... and watching ski-jump events.
The views are really superb. You can see Liberec at the foot of the mountain, the Jizerske Hory (mountains) and Krkonose mountains in the North, the Bohemian basin in the south. And in the northwest Germany (Zittauer Gebirge) ...
You can easily reach the foot of Mt. Jested with public transportation. Tram No. 2 takes you from downtown and/or the railway station to Dolny Hanychov where you change to Bus No. 33 to Horni Hanychov. It is planned to extend the tram line all the way to Horni Hanychov. Fare is 10 Kc one way (0.30 Euro).
Only few buses run to the cable car station, mostly you have to walk about 500 m (slightly uphill).
Please see my transportation tips for info on the cable car. Leave a Comment Directions: South of Liberec, really not to missWebsite: www.jested.cz

 Valdshtein houses by german_eagle
They are a good example of the former local architecture - timber-framed houses, no stone used for constructing.
Duke Albrecht von Valdshtein (or Wallenstein, as in the famous novel by Friedrich Schiller) founded the New Town of Liberec in this area - the remaining three houses, though, were built after Valdshtein's death.

 Inside St. Antonius church by german_eagle
Well worth to see are the beautiful altars (the main altar has a height of 10 m!) and the sculptured reliefs depicting the way of the cross.
The tower is with a height of 70 m still 5 m higher than the town hall's tower - very impressive but not open to the public.
Btw, after I had taken a couple of photos a guy showed up and said "No photos, please". Too late this time ... :-) Leave a Comment Directions: West of the Market square,

 Church of the Holy Cross by german_eagle
As I heard and read it is supposed to have a beautiful Baroque interior - and a Dürer painting (first altar left side).
Anyway, what made it worth walking to the church was the neighbouring Baroque column (reminding of the Black Death, in German called Pestsäule). It is a work of famous sculptor M.B. Braun (1719), surrounded by a way of the cross with beautiful frescos. Leave a Comment Directions: West of the Market square
