The region around Jizera has been always very popular for colonization, which is why this area is rich in vernacular architecture buildings. Timber houses and buildings can be found practically in every village. Small chapels and bell towers are well preserved up to the present time and still functioning. Really valuable are larger farm buildings, for example Bouček’s farm in Malá Skála or Dlask’s farm in Dolánky u Turnova.
