There are mountains that leave you in awe and mountains that touch your soul. The Lusatian Mountains belong in the second category because they have a human aspect to them. Although their highest peaks are less than 800 metres above sea level, they feature everything that mountains should. If they weren’t called Lusatian, their name would be Picturesque! The view of them is soothing – from the ridges curled with mixed forests, the landmarks, the highest peak called Luž, the sprawling Hvozd, the stalwart Klíč, the brooding Studenec, and the queen Jedlová with her crown of a stone lookout tower, stand out with dignity.
Traditional houses
The traditional Upper Lusatian houses that combine log house, timber framing, and building stone methods of construction while also boasting slate gables and divided windows… these are some of the typical attributes of the folk buildings in the Lusatian Mountains.
