Jablonec along Nisa

Jablonec nad Nisou, a city that carries the name of the river in its very title, which has morphologically influenced its urban structure, is an integral part of the city. The name itself seems to reveal a fundamental piece of information about the relationship between the city and the river - it is simply above it. The river flows beneath the city in a hardened stone bed, while the city turns its figurative back to it, treating it as a mere barrier. This approach has influenced the entire area surrounding the riverbed. The river simply passes through this city. It doesn't pause for a moment. It doesn't establish contact with people and animals, nor does it provide a pleasant atmosphere and microclimate. Therefore, the main thesis is: "The river is potential, not just a barrier."
