The Jizera Mountains are putting aside their winter white coat right now and revealing a face underneath that you can't help but fall in love with. It's a fascinating season of contrasts — while carpets are already fading in the Frýdlant valleys, spring is still shaking hands with the last traces of snow on the ridges. Come to breathe the purest freshness, experience the sparkle of wild water and let yourself be absorbed by the energy that has finally come to the surface in the mountains after months of sleep.
Spring in Jizera does not have a single form. It's a constant transformation that you can watch live. It begins unobtrusively -- a fragile snowdrop peeking out of the melting mud. Just a few kilometers away, in the lower reaches of the foothills, but nature already enchants with a whole palette of colors. Snowdrops and bledules alternate with rich green meadows, blooming poplars and daffodils, and as time progresses, the nature of the Jizera Mountains smells more and more of fresh grass and blossoming trees.
