Discover Zaskali in Ještěd Nature Park

Zaskali lies entirely within Ještěd Nature Park. This nature park provides a clear landscape reference point when choosing your destination. Two routes offer different approaches to planning: cycling route 3044 connects several places, while the excursion “Through Ještěd Nature Park” lists a specific sequence of stops. Chapels and a farmstead add precisely located destinations to this overview.

Cycling route 3044 connects several places

Cycling route 3044 connects Liberec, Dlouhý Most, Jeřmanice, Záskalí, and Hodkovice nad Mohelkou. For cyclists, Zaskali is therefore part of a route linking several places. This route may be a factor in choosing your destination if your plans extend beyond a single place. It differs from the named excursion through the nature park, which focuses on a specific sequence of places and the return to Hodkovice nad Mohelkou.

An excursion through the nature park

The excursion “Through Ještěd Nature Park” runs from Hodkovice nad Mohelkou via Žďárek, the Javornická Chapel, Javorník, and Zaskali, before returning to Hodkovice nad Mohelkou. It follows forest paths and reveals a lesser-known side of Ještěd Nature Park. The excursion can thus be followed as a specific sequence with a starting point, stops along the way, and a return. This offers a different point of reference from cycling route 3044, which connects Liberec, Dlouhý Most, Jeřmanice, Záskalí, and Hodkovice nad Mohelkou.

Chapels with specific local connections

The Javornická Chapel is one of the stops on the excursion. From there, you can enjoy a view of Liberec and the Jizera Mountains. This section of the route therefore links a named chapel to a specific viewpoint and two clearly identified views. Along the excursion route, the chapel lies between Žďárek and Javorník, placing the viewpoint within a particular route.

Zaskali is also home to a chapel with a statue of Saint John of Nepomuk. The Chapel of Saint Anne lies north of Hodkovice, on the road to Liberec. Another precisely identified place is the farmstead at house number 11 in Zaskali–Buršín. Each destination is identified by different details: the statue at one chapel, the location of the Chapel of Saint Anne, and the house number and neighborhood of the farmstead.

Renovations and present-day condition

All three chapels in Zaskali were renovated during the existence of the association for people born in Hodkovice, those connected with Hodkovice, and their friends. Check the current condition of the chapels on site. The information about the renovations applies to all three chapels; the descriptions also distinguish specific places within Zaskali.

Which connections suit your travel plans?

The chapels and farmstead also offer named local destinations. At the Javornická Chapel, the view of Liberec and the Jizera Mountains adds a specific panorama to the nature park and route connections. This lets you place Zaskali in context through its landscape, the routes described, and its local buildings.
