Strazne: Penzion Andula Friesovy boudy - Bouda Jawa
Friesovy boudy is best known in the Czech Krkonoše for its traditional high-mountain hut settlement. Bouda Jawa and Penzion Andula are part of a dispersed group of buildings above Strážné, among open meadows and spruce woodland in the Krkonoše Mountains. Pasture, service tracks and slopes used for winter sports give the area a distinctly upland character. The word bouda has a local cultural meaning: in the Krkonoše it commonly denotes mountain houses that began as farmsteads and shelters for people working the high ground. The locality lies in Krkonoše National Park, within Czechia’s highest mountain range. Friesovy boudy represents the rural mountain setting around Strážné rather than a built-up resort centre.

The Krkonoše Mountains define the setting of Strážné — their wooded slopes and long snowy winters shape the rhythm of this Czech mountain municipality. Near the Polish border in the Trutnov District, it stands in the landscape of Krkonoše National Park, with marked paths passing through spruce forest and mountain meadows. Ski slopes and cross-country routes are central to the winter season, while hiking and cycling take over in warmer months. Routes from the village also head toward the higher ridges of the central Krkonoše. Its former German name, Pommerndorf, recalls the Czech-German history of this borderland.

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.
