In the footsteps of glass smelters

on foot

Glass has been at home in the Jizera since the 16th century - discover its history.

About the trip

However, the greatest boom was experienced in the following, after the resettlement of two important glassmaking families from the Lusatian Mountains — the Kittels and the Riedels. The latter established roots here permanently and Josef Riedel gradually became the uncrowned glass king of the Jizera Mountains. Walk with us in the footsteps of glass smelters, over whose fates the breath often melts.
