Jizera Mountains hotels - About Jizera Mountains The Jizera or Izera Mountains (Czech: Jizerské hory; German: Isergebirge; Polish: Góry Izerskie) are part of the Western Sudetes on the border between the Czech Republic and Poland. The major part is formed from granite, with some areas formed from basalt. The mountains got their name from the Jizera River, which rises at the southern base of Smrk Mountain (German: Tafelfichte).
The highest peak is Wysoka Kopa (Hinterberg, 1,127 m, 3,698 feet) in Poland. Other higher peaks include Smrk (1124 m, 3,688 feet), with a recently rebuilt look-out tower, Jizera (1,122 m, 3,681 feet) and Stóg Izerski (Heufuder, 1,107 m, 3,632).
The weather conditions are characterized by above-average annual precipitation. On 30 July 1897, the measuring station at Nová Louka recorded a daily precipitation amounting to 345.1 mm (13.6 inches), still an unbroken European record.
