Kochánky: Hotels and Accommodation

Kochánky lies in the fertile valley of the Jizera. The village combines protected dry grasslands and a river landscape with memories of Czechoslovak motorcycle racing and paths through the flat terrain.

Landscape and Nature

The Stráně u Kochánek Nature Monument protects formations of common juniper on heathlands or calcareous dry grasslands. It also protects the T3.4B habitat, consisting of broad-leaved dry grasslands without a significant occurrence of orchids and with common juniper, as well as the T3.3D habitat, consisting of narrow-leaved dry grasslands without a significant occurrence of orchids.

The Slepeč Nature Monument covers areas in the cadastral territory of Kochánky. It lies on the right bank of the Jizera on a gently south-facing upland, which is divided by several dry erosion gullies toward the Jizera. The nature monument is protected because it is home to the lady's-slipper orchid, which is critically endangered in the Pojizeří region.
