Description
This Czech-language guide explores the Česká Lípa region, a lively area centred on Česká Lípa and rich in historic landmarks. It presents the centuries-old glassmaking traditions of Nový Bor and Kamenický Šenov, the Habsburg-era interiors of the château in Zákupy, and the legacy of Saint Zdislava, patron saint of Jablonné v Podještědí, who founded a Dominican monastery there in the mid-13th century. The guide also describes manor residences built into sandstone cliffs, including the remarkably preserved rock castle of Sloup, valuable groups of timbered houses in villages such as Velenice and Sloup v Čechách, and the geological landmark of Panská skála, known for its columnar basalt formations. The area covered runs from Česká Kamenice and Kamenický Šenov through Nový Bor, Svor, Cvikov, Jablonné v Podještědí, Noviny pod Ralskem, Mimoň, Zákupy, Sosnová, Zahrádky, Kravaře, Valteřice and Žandov, returning to Česká Kamenice. The contents are in Czech.
