Velke Porici: Letiště Velké Poříčí
Few places in the Náchod area have a history as closely tied to local flying as Velké Poříčí Airfield. Set in the Metuje valley of north-eastern Czechia, this grass airfield belongs to a rural settlement edged by open farmland and the foothills of the Orlické Mountains. It represents the small-airfield side of Czech aviation: a straightforward field rather than a commercial airport, woven into the everyday landscape of the borderland near Poland. The nearby town of Náchod adds an architectural landmark, its castle developing from a medieval stronghold into a Renaissance and Baroque residence. Velké Poříčí gives this aviation setting a distinctly local scale between cultivated land, village buildings and wooded uplands.

Velké Poříčí sits on the Metuje River in Czechia’s Hradec Králové Region, where the valley begins to rise toward the wooded foothills along the Polish border. The municipality lies beside Hronov, a town closely associated with writer Alois Jirásek and with Jirásek’s Hronov, the long-running amateur-theatre festival. Rail and road routes follow the Metuje valley, linking the settlement with Náchod and the wider borderland.

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.
