Male Svatonovice: Velké Svatoňovice
Malé Svatoňovice has served as a coal-mining centre in eastern Bohemia since the 19th century. Set in the foothills of the Jestřebí Mountains, the municipality lies amid the rolling agricultural country of northeastern Czechia. Its mining heritage belongs to the wider Trutnov coalfield, once an important industrial area. Malé Svatoňovice is also the birthplace of writer Karel Čapek, born here in 1890; the Museum of the Čapek Brothers commemorates him and his brother Josef. Nearby Velké Svatoňovice continues the local pattern of fields, orchards and scattered homes. Together, the two settlements present a quieter side of the region than the larger mountain resorts farther north.

Tucked into the foothills of the Jestřebí Mountains in northeastern Czechia, Malé Svatoňovice is a place whose character is shaped by mineral springs and wooded uplands. The springs gave rise to a spa tradition that remains part of the settlement’s identity. Karel Čapek, a major Czech writer of the 20th century, was born here in 1890, and the Čapek Brothers Museum traces the family’s link to the town. The pilgrimage Church of the Seven Joys of the Virgin Mary adds another historic focal point, while the surrounding hills suit unhurried walks.

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.
