Mohelnice nad Jizerou

Mohelnice nad Jizerou is a small village and municipality in the Czech Republic, located in the Mladá Boleslav District within the Central Bohemian Region. As the second part of its name suggests, the village sits along the Jizera River, one of the notable tributaries of the Elbe in northern Bohemia. Its geographic coordinates place it at roughly 50.56°N, 14.98°E, in a landscape typical of the Jizera river basin — gently undulating farmland that gradually transitions toward hillier terrain further north, toward the Jizera Mountains.

How many people live in Mohelnice nad Jizerou?

As of January 1, 2013, official records counted 73 inhabitants, while other sources place the population at around 90. Either way, the picture is consistent: this is one of the smallest municipalities in the Mladá Boleslav District, with a distinctly rural, low-density character. Such a small population means Mohelnice nad Jizerou functions as a quiet, peripheral community rather than a local hub, retaining the unhurried pace typical of small Czech villages.

Where exactly is this village located?

Administratively, Mohelnice nad Jizerou belongs to the Mladá Boleslav District, part of the Central Bohemian Region (Středočeský kraj) — one of fourteen regions of the Czech Republic, forming a ring of towns and municipalities around Prague. The district itself, named after the city of Mladá Boleslav, is best known for its automotive industry, but it also includes numerous small rural municipalities, Mohelnice nad Jizerou among them. A riverside location within a district that mixes agricultural and industrial character is fairly typical for many small settlements in Central Bohemia.

What should visitors know before coming here?

Given its small scale, the village should be approached as a quiet, rural stop rather than a destination with extensive tourist infrastructure. Its position along the Jizera River makes the surrounding area relevant for anyone traveling along the river valley — on foot, by bike, or by car — while moving between larger towns in the region. The precise coordinates (50.55985°N, 14.97761°E) make it easy to pinpoint the village on a map, which is useful if Mohelnice nad Jizerou is being planned as one stop among several while exploring the Central Bohemian Region.
