Geography

Mníšek is located about north of Liberec. The western part of the municipal territory with the Mníšek village lies in the Eastern Upper Lusatia, but most of the territory lies in the Jizera Mountains. The highest point is the mountain Olivetská hora at above sea level. The built-up area is situated in the valley of the Jeřice River and the Fojtka Stream. Their confluence is in the centre of Mníšek. Fojtka Reservoir was built on the stream in 1904–1906. It is used for recreational purposes and as flood protection.
