Holice: okr. Pardubice z Kamence
Among the towns of the Pardubice Region, Holice stands out for its connection with the explorer Emil Holub. Set amid the cultivated, gently rolling terrain of eastern Bohemia, it belongs to the wider East Elbe lowland, where fields, tree lines and scattered farmsteads shape the surroundings. Holub was born here in 1847 and became one of the best-known Czech travellers of the 19th century through his expeditions in southern Africa. His journeys assembled ethnographic and natural-history collections, and his legacy is preserved at the Dr Emil Holub African Museum. This link gives the town a cultural identity extending far beyond its rural setting.

Pardubický kraj has been an eastern Bohemian heartland of the Czech lands since the Middle Ages. The Labe crosses its western lowlands around Pardubice before the terrain rises toward the Orlické Mountains and the Žďárské vrchy. Pardubice developed around its Renaissance castle and is associated with the Pardubice Steeplechase, a race first held in 1874. To the south-east, Litomyšl is known for its Renaissance château, inscribed on UNESCO’s World Heritage List, while Kladruby nad Labem preserves the stud landscape linked to the Kladruber horse.

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.
