Being a spa town, the best way to spend one’s time here will be by soaking in the healing waters of the Janské Lázně spa. For the more adventurous, the ski slopes are among the best in the country and with the new cableways, ski lifts and cross country skiing trails, skiing enthusiasts will be quite at home here. Being at the foot of the Černá hora, this town is the ideal starting point for skiers, cyclists and hikers.

While in Janské Lázně, one can visit the lookout tower at Černá hora or the Kolonáda/ Colonnade.  If you want to take a break from all the pampering of the spa, then take a drive into the surrounding regions to visit the Safari Zoo in Dvůr Králové nad Labem, the Baroque chateaus or the Museum of Ancient Arts in Hostinné.

Due to the popularity of this destination, the area abounds with restaurants, hotels and resorts and sampling Czech food is definitely a must for all.
