Dobruska: F.L.Věk - náměstí Františka Ladislava Věka
The foothills of the Orlické Mountains define the setting of Dobruška — gently rolling ground gives this east Bohemian town a position between the lower plains and the border uplands. Náměstí Františka Ladislava Věka is its civic centre, a broad square edged by historic town buildings and crossed by local streets. Its name recalls F. L. Věk, the central character of Alois Jirásek’s novel cycle, modelled on Dobruška-born František Vladislav Hek. Hek was a merchant, writer and composer associated with the Czech National Revival; his birthplace in the town preserves his memory. The square and its surrounding streets remain the natural focus for everyday town life and for exploring Dobruška’s older core.

Built around a medieval market settlement, Dobruška grew into a small regional town beneath the Orlické Mountains in eastern Bohemia. The Zlatý potok runs through the town, while Masaryk Square forms its civic core, with the Renaissance town hall and the Church of St Wenceslas among its landmarks. Dobruška is closely connected with František Vladislav Hek, the patriot and merchant who inspired Alois Jirásek’s novel F. L. Věk; his birthplace is part of the local museum. The former Jewish quarter, including its early-18th-century synagogue, adds another layer to the town’s history.

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.
