Jaromer

Jaroměř lies at the confluence of the Elbe and Metuje rivers, amid the open, gently rolling countryside of northeastern Bohemia. The town’s historic character is closely tied to Josefov, now a district of Jaroměř, which was founded by Emperor Joseph II in 1780 as a fortified Habsburg garrison town. Its massive ramparts, gates and underground corridors remain a striking reminder of the region’s strategic role near the former Prussian border. The meeting of the two rivers gives Jaroměř a distinct setting within the wider Hradec Králové region. See how Jaroměř fits within northeastern Bohemia by browsing webcams nearby.
