Velká Úpa: Lanová dráha Portášky - Velká Úpa
Portášky lies along the upper Úpa valley above Velká Úpa, on forested slopes of the eastern Krkonoše Mountains where mountain meadows open between the trees. The Velká Úpa–Portášky cableway links the valley settlement, an administrative part of Pec pod Sněžkou, with this mountain hamlet and its network of routes. The area forms part of the Krkonoše National Park landscape, shaped by managed upland meadows as well as woodland. Its name recalls the portáši, mountain guards who once patrolled the Giant Mountains borderlands. Today, Portášky is a base for walking and winter sports, with a more open and settled character than the rocky summit country around nearby Sněžka.

Velká Úpa lies along the Úpa River in the eastern Krkonoše Mountains, where a narrow inhabited valley rises between forested slopes toward Sněžka, the Czech Republic’s highest mountain. The settlement forms part of Pec pod Sněžkou, a long-established mountain-resort town at the foot of the range. A cable car from Velká Úpa reaches Portášovy Boudy, while marked routes continue into the higher terrain of the Krkonoše. Winter brings skiing to the local slopes; warmer months suit hiking and cycling in the valley and on the ridges.

The Krkonoše Mountains and the upper Elbe define much of Královéhradecký kraj - mountain resorts and winter sports have long supported its tourism economy. On the Polish border, Sněžka reaches 1,603 metres, making it Czechia’s highest mountain, and stands within Krkonoše National Park. The Elbe rises in these mountains before flowing through the region’s lower country. Hradec Králové, the regional capital, combines a historic core with notable early-20th-century architecture linked to Josef Gočár and Jan Kotěra. Farther east, the sandstone formations of the Adršpach–Teplice Rocks introduce a sharply different terrain.

The terrain of Czechia ranges from fertile lowlands in southern Moravia to mountain ridges along the northern frontier, giving this Central European country a distinctly varied geography. The Vltava runs through Prague before joining the Elbe, while the Krkonoše form part of the border with Poland and include Sněžka, Czechia’s highest mountain. Prague’s historic centre, with Prague Castle and Charles Bridge, reflects the city’s long role as a political and cultural centre. Beyond the capital, Bohemia is known for spa towns and brewing, and Moravia for wine-growing traditions.
