Popis produktu:
Ještěd rears up like a dragon,claimed school children forty years ago in an enthusiastic poem about this symbolic mountain, and not without reason. That is how the white–bearded lover of mountains, snow and skiing, Aleš Lyžec, starts his story about Ještěd in his book Pictures of winter beauty in the mountains, and he continues: Ještěd is one of the most famous peaks. From near and far, it looks like a jewel in the Czech countryside. Ještěd belongs among the most prominent and also the most famous mountain–tops of the Czech Republic and Bohemia. It is visible from almost all view–points south of Prague. The range itself has always been a border–mountain dividing aristocratic estates. As late as the beginning of the 20th century, it not only bordered the Rohan and the Clam–Gallas estates, but it also represented an ethnic border between the Czech enclave in Podještědí and the inhabitants of Liberec, who were for the most part German. In 1838, the Rohan’s stone (still a well–preserved obelisk) was raised on the peak of the mountain, as a memorial to the visit of Adela Rohan. At the same time, the obelisk served as a border–marker. The inscription ""ROHANSTEIN"" is still legible on the stone.
