Mala Upa: Krkonoše, Sněžka, nová lanovka (pohled na jih)
Few places in the Hradec Králové Region have a history as closely tied to mountain travel and the Czech–Polish border as Sněžka. At 1,603 metres, it is Czechia’s highest mountain, rising in the Krkonoše range above the valleys of Malá Úpa and Pec pod Sněžkou. Long ridges extend from its broad summit into terrain shaped by harsh high-altitude conditions. Pilgrims and travellers have visited the mountain for centuries; the Baroque Chapel of St Lawrence, built in 1681, stands near the top. Sněžka lies within Krkonoše National Park, where alpine habitats include rare tundra-like plant communities. Hiking routes converge here from both countries, while a cable car links the Czech side with Pec pod Sněžkou.

Malá Úpa combines a high-mountain setting with the everyday character of a border community in a way that reflects its position in the eastern Krkonoše along Poland. Scattered hamlets lie among forested slopes beneath Sněžka, the Czech Republic’s highest mountain, while routes through Krkonoše National Park connect the area with the wider ridge country. Winter sports are central to local life, and the Church of Saints Peter and Paul in Horní Malá Úpa is a notable village landmark.

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.
