Turkovice: Letiště Podhořany
Few places in the Pardubice Region have a history as closely tied to farming as Turkovice. This small municipality lies amid cultivated fields at the northern edge of the Železné hory uplands, where low wooded ridges interrupt the open agricultural country. Near Podhořany, the local airfield gives the area a second, distinctly modern identity through recreational aviation and parachuting. Turkovice is defined less by an urban centre than by the working countryside and aviation facilities that share its open terrain. The setting reflects a familiar eastern Bohemian pattern of small settlements, fields and forest belts, while the airfield brings specialised sporting activity to this quiet rural district.

Part of the Pardubice District, it is a small municipality rather than a historic urban centre, with a character defined by farming, local roads and the close-knit scale associated with the Czech countryside. The surrounding area leads into a broader region of market towns and open rural districts, away from the country’s main metropolitan corridors.

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.
