Česká Lípa District

Česká Lípa District covers varied terrain in the Liberec Region with forests, highlands, and mountains. The landscape is shaped by several rivers, including the Ploučnice, and comprises 57 municipalities scattered across the area.

Since the 13th century, medieval castles such as Bezděz and Sloup stood in this region due to its strategic location. These fortifications reveal the area's importance as a border zone and a key route for trade and movement.

In Nový Bor, local artisans continue to make decorative glassware using methods passed down for centuries. Visitors can watch craftspeople at work, keeping these traditional techniques alive in their studios and workshops.

The district has good road and rail connections linking its municipalities to each other and to larger Czech cities. Visitors will find it straightforward to move between towns and access natural areas throughout the region.

Three protected landscape areas meet within the district: the Lusatian Mountains, Central Bohemian Uplands, and Kokořínsko - Máchův kraj National Park. This overlap creates a rare mosaic of different ecosystems and natural regions within one administrative area.
