    Hrádek nad Nisou (German Grottau) is a town in Liberecký kraj in the Czech Republic. It lies in the border triangle of Germany, Poland and the Czech Republic.
    The city is located in northern Bohemia on the right bank of the Lusatian Neisse, near the border with Saxony (urban area of Zittau in the west) and the Polish Voivodeship of Lower Silesia (urban area of Bogatynia in the north). Grafenstein Castle is located east of the city.
    The area on the course of the Lusatian Neisse river had been inhabited by people since the younger Stone Age. In 968 the area around Grottau was connected to Bohemia by a treaty of the Meissen diocese. A trade route ran through the area for centuries from Rome via Silesia to the Baltic Sea.
    Hrádek nad Nisou is one of the oldest urban settlements on the Lusatian Neisse, was a Slavic rampart of the Milzener at this time and served under the West Slavic name Grod (= castle wall) as a refuge during armed conflicts. The town was popularly known as Grote and has been using today's Czech place name since 1920.

        Beautiful small town with a well-restored market square and good restaurants. Bohemia begins from here.

          The "sundial" in the market square is fun.
          When the sun is shining, stand on the date of the day you're there and read the time on your own shadow 😉👍
