About location

Vysokov combines broad working farmland with the memory of a 19th-century battle in a way that reflects its position on the rolling uplands west of Náchod. The village lies in north-eastern Czechia, where open fields are broken by belts of woodland and the nearby Metuje valley. On 27 June 1866, fighting in the Battle of Náchod reached the area around Vysokov during the Austro-Prussian War. The conflict is recalled by local battlefield monuments, while agriculture continues to give the settlement and its surroundings a spacious, open character. Náchod, with its castle above the town, is the principal urban centre nearby.

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.

Prague’s historic centre, with Prague Castle and Charles Bridge, reflects the city’s long role as a political and cultural centre.
