Mala Upa: Sněžka - lanovka
Built around a high-altitude cable-car station, Sněžka’s summit area developed into a major mountain destination on the Czech–Polish border. At 1,603 metres, Sněžka is the highest mountain in Czechia and a defining peak of the Krkonoše Mountains. Its rounded uplands are protected on the Czech side by Krkonoše National Park. The cable car from Pec pod Sněžkou links the town with the summit, while hiking routes converge here from both countries. The Chapel of St Lawrence, consecrated in 1681, recalls a long tradition of travel and pilgrimage in these mountains. Nearby Malá Úpa is a dispersed mountain municipality of hamlets rather than a compact centre.

Malá Úpa combines a high-mountain setting with the everyday character of a border community in a way that reflects its position in the eastern Krkonoše along Poland. Scattered hamlets lie among forested slopes beneath Sněžka, the Czech Republic’s highest mountain, while routes through Krkonoše National Park connect the area with the wider ridge country. Winter sports are central to local life, and the Church of Saints Peter and Paul in Horní Malá Úpa is a notable village landmark.

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.
