Policka: Sjezdovka
The landscape around Polička is a gently rolling upland of meadows and woodland, which has shaped both the built environment and local life. The town lies in the Bohemian-Moravian Highlands, a broad ridge country between Bohemia and Moravia, where open clearings and forest margins remain close to the urban area. Polička’s compact historic core is enclosed by exceptionally well-preserved medieval walls, built from the 14th century and still punctuated by bastions. Its parish church tower is associated with composer Bohuslav Martinů, who was born in the tower apartment in 1890. Today the town combines this walled centre with everyday services, small-scale sport and the rural character of the surrounding highlands.

Polička combines a compact walled centre with an open highland setting in a way that reflects its position on the Bohemian-Moravian Highlands. The Bílý potok runs through this eastern Bohemian town, whose medieval fortifications remain an important part of its identity. Polička was founded in the 13th century as a royal town, and substantial sections of its stone walls and bastions still encircle the historic core. The Church of St James is closely associated with composer Bohuslav Martinů, who was born in the church tower in 1890.

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.
