Nová Louka has a history closely linked to Bedřichov. A glassworks had been operating there since the end of the 16th century, which was run by Johann Josef Kittel in 1756. Because he was prospering successfully and the work of the Bedřichov glassworks was not enough to cover orders, he built a glassworks 2 km further north in the forests, around which a small settlement of several houses (of glassworks employees) arose in the following years. In the deep Jizera forests, there was enough wood available, necessary for lighting glass furnaces and for producing potash - an ingredient for glass raw materials. In 1769, Nová Louka came into the hands of the Riedel family, the most important glass entrepreneurs in the Jizera Mountains. In the middle of the 19th century, the glassworks stopped working due to increasingly unfavorable economic conditions (lack of wood, the advent of more modern technologies in glass production). The glassworks and its associated buildings were demolished, leaving only the so-called Manor House, which was rebuilt into a hunting lodge by the estate (owners of the Nové Louka land).

Šámalova chata, originally a hunting lodge of the Clam-Gallas family, was used during the First Republic by Dr. Přemysl Šámal, chancellor of President T. G. Masaryk. The interior was paneled with larch and the suite with a bathroom was furnished in the same way as in the Černín Palace. Today, the cottage is used by all tourists to recharge their batteries. Nová Louka is a retreat near Bedřichov located on the Blatný stream in the Jizera Mountains. The only building here today is Šámalova chata with a popular restaurant. The retreat is located near the Nová Louka nature reserve, which protects the local peat bog. Another name used today is Šámalova louka in memory of the period when the First Republic Chancellor Přemysl Šámal used the cottage.

There was delicious homemade cake. The staff is very friendly.

Unfortunately, the viewing point on the Johannesstein can now only be used by hotel guests.

Perhaps the most beautiful section of the Jizera runs right next to the town. The gently gurgling stream with its peat-brown but crystal-clear water appears from a new, wonderful perspective after every bend, inviting you to take photos.

Žemlovka is awesome!

Jánské kamy (German: Johannisstein) is a 604 m high hill, on the summit of which there is a formation of basalt rocks, the Johannissteine. It is located in the Lusatian Mountains on the Saxon-Bohemian border in the Hain district of the health resort Oybin and northeast of the Krompach district of Valy. Since the cession of Upper Lusatia in 1635, the border between Saxony and Bohemia has run over the Johannisstein, the summit of which belongs to Bohemia. In 1880, an inn was built on the hill on the Bohemian side, and a viewing platform was built one year. When the inn became too small due to the popularity, additional buildings were built, the Johannissteinbaude. The hut developed into a popular excursion site and was also used as a rest stop for hikes in the neighboring high forest. Since 1927 it has been operated as a mountain hotel with an event hall. Other smaller buildings, such as the Bohemian Josefshöhe or the German Schönfeldbaude, were built on the northern slope.

good Bohemian cuisine and delicious beer - last pub before the Lausche 😉
