Hradec Kralove: LION Helicopters Ltd. - Hradec Kralove Airport
Among the places of the Hradec Králové Region, Hradec Králové stands out for its airport on the broad Elbe plain beside a historic river city. Hradec Králové Airport lies north of the centre and forms part of the city’s aviation infrastructure, with runways, aprons and hangars in open, level surroundings. LION Helicopters Ltd. is based at the airport, underlining its role in local aviation activity. The city itself stands at the confluence of the Elbe and Orlice rivers. Its medieval core is marked by the Cathedral of the Holy Spirit, while early-20th-century planning by Josef Gočár gave Hradec Králové a distinctive modern urban character alongside its older centre.

The confluence of the Elbe and Orlice defines the setting of Hradec Králové — the rivers create green corridors that reach close to the centre and frame its historic core. That core stands on the ground between the two waterways, marked by the Gothic Cathedral of the Holy Spirit and the Renaissance White Tower. A royal dowry town of Czech queens for centuries, Hradec Králové was reshaped in the early 20th century by architects Jan Kotěra and Josef Gočár. Their influential civic buildings and planning earned it the nickname “Salon of the Republic.” Browse additional webcams from the surrounding area to extend your view of Hradec Králové and the 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.

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.
