All of Zaskali lies within Ještěd Nature Park. This designation applies to the village as a whole and provides a clear geographical framework for planning your trip. If you are looking for a destination that can be explored both through its location and by following specific routes, Zaskali offers several starting points.

Between the nature park and cycle route 3044

Cycle route 3044 connects Liberec, Dlouhý Most, Jeřmanice, Záskalí and Hodkovice nad Mohelkou. This places Záskalí along a route linking five named places. For planning a cycling trip, this route is the key piece of information: it places the village among a series of destinations. If you include the cycle route in your plans, you can view it as a connection between the places named above. This makes Záskalí visible as part of a cycling connection, rather than just as a stop on its own.

An excursion along forest trails and past chapels

The excursion “Through Ještěd Nature Park” runs from Hodkovice nad Mohelkou via Žďárek, the Javornická Chapel, Javorník and Záskalí, returning to Hodkovice nad Mohelkou. It follows forest trails and explores a lesser-known side of Ještěd Nature Park. The named stops and the return to Hodkovice give the excursion a clear sequence. You can therefore plan it as a standalone tour with specific points along the way; the focus here is on the sequence of stops and the return route to Hodkovice.

The Javornická Chapel offers views of Liberec and the Jizera Mountains. As a stop on a route through the forest, it connects the nature park excursion with two specifically named landscapes. You can therefore consider the view alongside the route of the excursion, without losing sight of its other stops.

Chapels and other local landmarks

All three chapels in Záskalí were renovated during the existence of the association of people born in Hodkovice or connected with Hodkovice, and its friends. The renovations link the three chapels through a shared commitment to preservation. The current condition should be checked locally before visiting. The chapel with the statue of Saint John of Nepomuk is in Zaskali. The Chapel of Saint Anne lies north of Hodkovice, on the road to Liberec. These location details refer to different points: Zaskali itself in one case, and Hodkovice and the road to Liberec in the other.

Another specific local landmark is the farmstead at house number 11 in Záskalí–Buršín. Its precise name links the farmstead to a house number and a part of the village. Together with the chapels, it offers another perspective on the destination’s named buildings: alongside the religious buildings, the farmstead is another distinct local landmark. If you would like to explore Zaskali through more than just its landscape and trails, these buildings add to the range of themes for your stay.
