It lies mostly in the Ralsko Uplands, but the northern part of the municipal territory extends into the Lusatian Mountains.

There are several ponds in the vicinity of the town.

History

Jablonné v Podještědí was founded by German colonizers in the 12th century. Its advantageous location on the trade route from Zittau to Prague helped the development from a village to a town, and for several centuries it became an important place of trade and customs. Around 1240, Lemberk Castle was founded by Havel of Markvartice for guarding the trade route.[2]

Until 1918, the town was part of the Austrian monarchy (Austria side after the compromise of 1867), head of the Gabel District (later Gabel bei Niemes), one of the 94 Bezirkshauptmannschaften in Bohemia.[3] In 1918, it became a part of independent Czechoslovakia.

In 1938, Jablonné was ceded to Nazi Germany as a result of the Munich Agreement. Until 1945, it was administered as a part of the Regierungsbezirk Aussig of Reichsgau Sudetenland. In May 1945, after the liberation of Czechoslovakia, it returned under Czechoslovak administration.
