KCT Editions · Jizera Summer 2027

The forest is
outside your door.

A menu of possibility, not an itinerary. Private experiences into the region are arranged separately for the families who want them — nothing here is compulsory.

The week

A week with a rhythm,
not a schedule.

  1. Morning

    • Coffee on the terrace.
    • Breakfast without a departure time.
    • The forest, already there.
  2. Then choose

    • Bike. Swim. Walk. Spa.
    • Take the children somewhere.
    • Head into the mountains.
    • Or don’t go anywhere at all.
  3. Afternoon

    • Back to the resort.
    • Pool, wellness, a drink, a book.
    • Something informal appears from the kitchen.
  4. Evening, and later

    • Everyone drifts back together.
    • Dinner is the gathering point.
    • Then tea, dessert, conversation.

Do everything. Do nothing.
Or somewhere in between.

Three generations

Together, without spending
every minute together.

  • One couple walks the forest before anyone else is up.
  • One family takes the bikes out.
  • Someone takes the children swimming.
  • Someone goes up into the mountains.
  • Someone never leaves the terrace.
  • Someone disappears with a book until lunch.

Nobody has to negotiate one compulsory itinerary. And then everyone finds each other again, in the only three places that matter: the table, the evening, and Shabbat.

And this becomes
home, for a week.

The region

Beyond the resort.

On two wheels

Everyone rides.
Nobody rides the same.

  1. Flat and easy

    Forest tracks and valley roads around the resort. Children, grandparents, anyone.

  2. E-bike

    The climbs, without the suffering. The reason three generations can ride out together at all.

  3. Properly

    The marked network around Bedřichov, real elevation on some genuinely beautiful routes, for whoever wants it.

Bicycles and guided riding are arranged separately for the families who want them.

The Jizera Mountains

Not somewhere we visit.
Somewhere we live.

Granite and basalt underfoot, ancient beech forest overhead — the Jizera range is a UNESCO-recognised stretch of some of the oldest woodland left in Central Europe. Montanie sits inside it, above the Souš Reservoir, with trails leaving straight from the property.

Jizerka

A village at the centre
of the trails.

A scattering of mountain houses in an open upland meadow, ringed by forest — the hub of the marked hiking and cycling network that runs across the range. The Jizera Mountains are also a designated Dark Sky Park, so clear nights here are genuinely dark.

Liberec

A city, close
enough for an afternoon.

Forty minutes away: the Ještěd tower on its distinctive peak, a zoo, a botanical garden, and a proper town centre — the nearest place to feel like a city without giving up the week in the forest.

Prague

A European day out,
when you feel like leaving.

Ninety minutes by car. One of the most walkable historic capitals in Europe, and close enough for families who want a day of it without changing hotels.

This is what Tuesday
can look like.

And then, the evening begins

Not an itinerary, and nothing here is compulsory. Just a day that could happen.

Slow days

Not every day
needs a plan.

The water, the terrace, the garden, a long breakfast, an afternoon that goes nowhere. Staying behind should feel like a good decision, not a missed one. A menu of possibility, not an itinerary.
