The villages of Černá Louže, Jítrava, Nová Starost and Polesí are administrative parts of Rynoltice.
Rynoltice is located about 16 kilometres (10 mi) west of Liberec. It lies mostly in the Ralsko Uplands. The western part of the municipal territory extends into the Ještěd–Kozákov Ridge and includes the highest point of Rynoltice, the Vápenný mountain at 790 m (2,590 ft) above sea level. The stream Panenský potok originates on the slopes of Vápenný and flows across the municipality.
The first written mention of Rynoltice is from 1364. The village was founded in the 13th century by German colonists. During the Hussite Wars, the village was ransacked. It was resettled in 1563.[2]
The I/13 road (the section from Liberec to Děčín, which is a part of the European route E442) passes through the municipality.
Rynoltice is located on the railway line Liberec–Děčín.
The main landmark of Rynoltice is the Church of Saint Barbara. It dates from the second half of the 17th century. In the mid-18th century, it was modified to its present form.[5]
The Church of Saint Pancras is located in Jítrava. It was built in 1710 on the site of an older wooden church.[6]
