Liberec Region, Administrative region in northern Bohemia, Czech Republic
Description
The region is an administrative area in the northern part of Bohemia with borders to Germany and Poland. The territory includes mountain ranges and forested valleys that span several districts and show different landscape forms.
History
The administrative boundaries were redrawn in 1960 during Czechoslovakia and fundamentally changed the responsibilities of local authorities. This reorganization created the current district structure, which shaped the area until the Czech state reform after 1989.
Culture
The name comes from the regional capital, once known for textile production and now serving administrative functions. Visitors see traditional wooden architecture from the mountain areas in many villages, still shaping homes and small workshops today.
Practical
The city of Liberec serves as a central starting point for travel within the region and offers connections to the surrounding districts. Mountainous sections require special attention during hikes or car journeys because of steep roads and changing weather.
