Discover the crafts listed by UNESCO
The glassmaking craft is not just a remembered tradition in the western Krkonose Mountains, but it is still alive and every visitor can see it for themselves. Glass and glass ornaments are still made here using traditional methods, which are listed as an intangible cultural heritage of humanity by UNESCO for their uniqueness.
The glassmaking tradition is so important in North Bohemia that it cannot be limited by regional borders or mountain ranges. The stories of individual producers are intertwined and mutually influencing or complementary. That is why the imaginary Crystal Valley was created, to connect the individuals as a whole, to promote their unique work and to open the doors of their studios and workshops to visitors.
