Traditional craft

The glassmaking tradition in the Lusatian Mountains is more than 700 years old. Discover its beauty through both its rich history and vibrant present!

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.

Stone

The columnar jointing of basalt and phonolite, picturesque sandstone massifs, and vast rubble fields form a landscape with elongated ridges and distinctive conical hills.

The seats of the local masters

Guard castles grew like mushrooms after rain along the old trade route from Prague to Zittau. Some became charming castles, others turned into romantic ruins.

Connected with heaven

Major churches and small chapels or shrines are scattered across the landscape like beads. They make one think, uplift and caress the soul, and please the eye.

Only 700 meters high, and yet…

The Lusatian Mountains are not too large and not too high, yet the ten 700 meters tall peaks here, thanks to their prominence, are sure to thoroughly test the fitness of anyone who wishes to conquer them.
