Kořenov (German: Bad Wurzelsdorf) is a mountain village in Jablonec nad Nisou District, Liberec Region in the northern Czech Republic, close to the border with Poland.
Kořenov is situated in the Jizera Mountains, a range of the Sudetes, near the well-known winter sports centre Harrachov. Parts of it are a protected landscape area.
The municipality was established in 1960 by the merger of the former market towns of Polubný and Příchovice with Rejdice and Jizerka. Other settlements include Dolní Kořenov, Horní Kořenov, Martinovské Údolí, Na Kobyle, Nová Víska, Počátky, Růžodol, Světlá, Tesařov, Údolí Nadeje, Václavíkova Studánka, and Zelené Údolí. The hamlet of Údolí Nadeje (Hoffnungstal, Polish: Zieleniec) previously belonged to the Silesian side of the Sudetes, it passed to Czechoslovakia in 1958.
Today Kořenov is home to an elementary school in Horní Kořenov, as well as to a nursery school and retirements home in Polubný, two voluntary fire brigades (DHS Polubný and DHS Příchovice), and a factory producing salami packages.
The first settlers came to the remote forested area in northern Bohemia in 1577 when German Paul Schierer (von Walthaimb zu Falkenau) established glassworks at Rejdice (Reiditz). After the 1620 Battle of White Mountain, the lands were seized by Albrecht von Wallenstein, who sold them to the comital Desfours dynasty. The estates were acquired by the noble House of Rohan in 1824.
