City Cerveny Kostelec

Červený Kostelec sits in the foothills of the Jestřebí Mountains in northeastern Bohemia, where gently rolling country leads toward the Polish borderlands. The town belongs to Czechia’s Náchod District and retains the scale of a regional centre rather than a large urban hub. Its leading historic monument is the Baroque Church of St James the Greater, designed by Kilián Ignác Dientzenhofer in the 18th century. Brodský Pond, on the edge of town, provides a waterside contrast to the built-up centre and is a familiar local recreation spot.

Hradec Králové Region
Region Hradec Králové Region

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.

Country Czechia

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.
