Predhradi: Lichnice Castle ruins
Lichnice Castle has served as a defensive stronghold in the Železné hory since the mid-13th century. Built on a rocky promontory above the Doubrava valley near Třemošnice, it protected an important regional route. The castle belonged to the Lichtenburg family, one of medieval Bohemia’s notable noble houses, and its fortifications were enlarged over the centuries. It lost its military role after the Thirty Years’ War and gradually became a ruin. Surviving walls, gates and earthworks rise above the farmland and wooded ridges of the Železné hory Protected Landscape Area, while nearby Predhradí retains a distinctly rural character.

Předhradí has served as the settlement beneath Rychmburk Castle in eastern Bohemia since the Middle Ages. The Krounka River runs through the municipality, whose houses and lanes sit amid the rolling, wooded country of the Železné hory. First documented in 1325, Rychmburk Castle long functioned as the seat of a landed estate and still gives Předhradí its distinctive silhouette. This quiet part of the Pardubice Region retains a clear connection between its castle precinct, river valley and older settlement pattern.

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.
