Polubný: Find hotels for your stay

The church and ski lift are in Horní Polubný; the information about the cog railway refers to the Tanvald–Kořenov line and a section between Dolní Polubný and Kořenov. Two groomed cross-country ski trails run from Kořenov to Jizerka, one of them via Horní Polubný. This distinction helps you plan your journey and day around your specific destination.

Church in Horní Polubný

The Baroque Church of the Nativity of St John the Baptist in Horní Polubný was built between 1789 and 1793. Regular church services and cultural events, particularly concerts of classical and sacred music, are held there. The construction period and present-day use describe two different aspects of the church: its Baroque architecture and its recurring religious and cultural events. If you plan to attend a concert, check the specific event dates.

History and the cog railway

The history of Polubný also includes the work people did to earn a living in the 19th century. At the time, residents made their living, among other things, from forestry, spinning and weaving, as well as glassblowing and glass pressing; potash production was another occupation. This perspective complements the architectural history with the work that shaped residents’ livelihoods.

The Tanvald–Kořenov cog railway line is the steepest railway line in the Czech Republic. On the section between Dolní Polubný and Kořenov, the maximum gradient is 58 per mille. These two statements have different scopes: the first ranks the line as a whole in a national comparison, while the second gives the specific maximum for the named section. In 1992, the railway line was declared a cultural monument of the Czech Republic. This corresponds to a gradient of 5.8 percent.

Winter destinations and their locations

The Jizerský kopec ski lift is in Horní Polubný, on the left-hand side of the road towards Kořenov, about 50 metres above the road. It operates seasonally. For cross-country skiing, two groomed trails run from Kořenov to Jizerka; one goes via Horní Polubný, and both connect to the Jizerská magistrála. For the ski lift, the side of the road and approximate location help you identify where it is; for the trails, the starting point, destination and connection to the Jizerská magistrála are what matter.

Getting there and choosing a hotel

You can reach the church by bus to the Horní Polubný stop, or by train to Kořenov and then on foot or by car. Jizerka can only be reached by car from Horní Polubný. These are different directions for route planning: the bus and train options refer to the church, while the car access described is for Jizerka. Check the timetables for your chosen mode of transport before travelling.

Then check the specific location given for each hotel offer and plan your journey to your chosen destination separately.
