Trutnov

Tucked along the Úpa River in the foothills of the Krkonoše Mountains, Trutnov is a place whose character is shaped by its position between a mountain frontier and the Bohemian interior. The town’s long central square, Krakonošovo náměstí, preserves the compact form of its historic core, while the legend of the mountain spirit Krakonoš remains part of local identity. Trutnov is also associated with the Battle of Trautenau, fought here in 1866 during the Austro-Prussian War; it was a rare Austrian victory in that conflict. Today, the town is a useful urban base for the eastern Krkonoše and the nearby Polish border. Discover other points of interest through webcams located across the Hradec Králové Region.
