Janské Lázně is a spa town well-known all over the world and the second best-valued ski centre in the Czech Republic.
It is the only spa resort on the Czech side of the Giant Mountains. Just for comparison, there are 12 spa resorts in the nearby Poland-Lower Silesia.
This quiet town with extraordinary history is located at the foot of Černá hora (The Black Mountain) (1299 meters above sea level). The town is connected with the top of this mountain by a cable railway. Due to the newly built cable railways, ski-lifts and cross-country skiing tracks the town has become a top-level sports and recreation centre and a perfect base for trips into the highest Czech mountains, both for skiers in winter and for bicyclists and hikers in summer.
