Jizera Mountains or Izera Mountains are part of the Western Sudetes on the border between the Czech Republic and Poland. The range got its name from the Jizera River, which rises at the southern base of the Smrk massif. The range stretches from the Lusatian Mountains (Zittau Mountains) in the northwest to the Krkonoše in the southeast. The highest peak is Wysoka Kopa (1,127 m) near the town of Szklarska Poręba in Poland. Neverteheless, a better-known mountain is Smrk (1124 m), with a recently rebuilt look-out tower. The Jizera Mountains are an attractive location for winter sports, cycling and hiking. The centre for both downhill skiing and ski run is Bedřichov.
