Zdislava (de|Schönbach) is a market town in Liberec District in the Liberec Region of the Czech Republic. It has about 300 inhabitants.
The former German name Schönbach means 'beautiful stream'. After World War II, the settlement was renamed after Saint Zdislava.
Zdislava is located about 12km (07miles) west of Liberec. It lies on the border between the Ralsko Uplands and Ještěd–Kozákov Ridge. The highest point is on the slopes of the Vápenný mountain at 773m (2,536feet) above sea level. The creek Zdislavský potok originates on the slopes of Vápenný and then flows across the municipality.
The first written mention of Schönbach is from 1364. In 1906, the village was promoted to a market town.[2]
In 1947, the market town was renamed from Schönbach to its current name.[3] In the 1970s, it was joined to neighbouring Křižany. Since 1990, Zdislava has been a separate municipality again.[2]
Zdislava is located on the railway line Liberec–Děčín.
The main landmark of Zdislava is the Church of Saint John the Baptist. It was built in the Baroque style in 1726.[4]
