The flattest ride on offer – along the Jizera Greenway to the Rautis workshop, where UNESCO-listed blown glass bead ornaments are still made by hand.
Pubs in Jablonec nad Jizerou and Poniklá along the way.
The distance matches the route planned in Mapy.com; elevation gain and time are approximate. For hiking routes Mapy.com assumes a slower pace, so it may show a longer time.
A valley ride along the Jizera to the only workshop of its kind in the world. From the apartments down to Jablonec nad Jizerou and on along cycle route 17 (Greenway Jizera) beside the river to Poniklá, where Rautis still makes blown glass bead ornaments by hand – a craft on the UNESCO list of intangible heritage. Back the same way upstream. The valley section is almost flat; the extra climbing comes only on the return to the apartments.
Book the workshop tour ahead – without a reservation you may not get in during the season, and it is the whole point of the trip.
