The market town is situated on the left bank of the Elbe River, opposite the confluence of the Elbe and Jizera rivers. In the western part of the municipal territory are two artificial lakes created by flooding sandstone quarries: Mezi mosty and Malvíny.

In 1777, part of the market town's land was separated and the new village of Káraný was founded on it. The iron spring has been known since time immemorial and in 1868, a small spa was founded. After the World War II, the spa focused on the treatment of top athletes.[2]
