Kořenov, Czechia - 26.7 km, 36 minutes

At the facility of Czarny Kamień Resort & SPA you can admire a magnificent well, which was built at a time when the Walloons lived in Szklarska Poręba. Not only Szklarska Poręba is associated with Walloons, but also the Czech settlement Jizerka - a village that was founded in the 16th century. The Walloons looked for the sapphires in the streams there.

Jizerka is a place worth going for a hiking or cycling trip, and in winter for skiing - also cross-country skiing. An interesting place is Bukoviec mountain and nature reserve and the Museum of the Jizera Mountains.

How to get there?
The best way to reach Jizerka is by car along the road around Smědava and through the Souš dam, past which there is a left turn onto a smaller path towards Horní Polubný. In Horní Polubný, turn left by the church into an even narrower path, which is not marked by any means and leads directly to the parking lot next to Jizerka. From there, it is still about 1 km to the village. Note: if you go to Jizerka in winter from Horní Polubný, take snow chains with you, as the road here is only cleared of snow with a snowplough.
