Prales Jizera, Nature reserve in Hejnice, Czech Republic

The protected area spans 92.44 hectares and features mountain spruce forests at elevations between 1000 and 1122 meters above sea level.

The Ministry of Education and Culture of Czechoslovakia established this reserve on June 21, 1960, making it the oldest protected area in Jizerské hory.

The reserve connects to several marked tourist paths, including the blue trail Nová hřebenovka, reflecting Czech traditions of mountain hiking and nature appreciation.

Visitors can reach the reserve by taking a regional train to Hejnice station on line 038, then following the yellow-marked path to the summit area.

The forest experienced substantial damage from storms in 1966, leading to a restoration program that introduced silver spruce, oak, birch, and rowan trees.
