The Jizera (German Siechhübel ; 1122 m) is the second highest mountain in the Bohemian part of the Jizera Mountains . The upper part of the mountain is under state protection as the Prales Jizera nature reserve .
Location and surroundings
The Jizera rises above a largely unpopulated plateau in the central part of the Jizera Mountains. The closest localities are Jizerka ( Klein Iser ) , located five kilometers to the east, and the municipality of Bílý Potok pod Smrkem ( Weißbach ) , located to the north under the steep drop of the Jizera Mountains . Northeast of the mountain at the origin of Smědá ( Wittig ) is the Mountain cottage Smědava ( Wittig House ).
history
In 1960 the primeval forest on the upper part of the mountain on 92.44 hectares was placed under state protection as the Prales Jizera nature reserve .
In the mid-1980s, most of the original forest on the mountain died as a result of acid rain . The cause for this were in particular the lignite-fired power plants of the GDR and Poland in the Upper Lusatian mining area, which were operated without flue gas desulphurization . The mountain forest, which consists of old weather spruce and is under nature protection, was severely damaged during this time. It was not until the beginning of the 1990s that the destroyed areas outside the nature reserve were reforested.
Paths to the summit
To the summit of Izera introduces yellow marked, 1 km long trail, which at the forest road Štolpišská silnice ( Stolpichstraße ), over which the European hiking E3 leads, begins. The ascent to the summit rock is possible via a climbing system.
