Liberk: Orlicke Hory
The Orlické Mountains are best known within Czechia for their long forested border ridge with Poland. Near Liberk, the lower slopes alternate between cattle pastures, meadows and woodland, while the Divoká Orlice rises in the range. The massif forms the Orlické Mountains Protected Landscape Area, established in 1969 to protect this broad upland of forests, meadows and wetlands. It also preserves a line of Czechoslovak border fortifications built in the late 1930s; the Hanička fortress complex is among the best-known sites. Roads and small settlements are scattered through the folds of the foothills, giving this part of the Královéhradecký Region a strongly rural character.

The landscape around Liberk is a mosaic of wooded foothills and the Zdobnice River valley below the Orlické Mountains, which has shaped both the scattered settlement pattern and livelihoods rooted in forestry and farming. This small municipality in the Rychnov nad Kněžnou District belongs to the less urban side of northeastern Bohemia, where local roads lead from the lowlands towards the mountain borderland with Poland. The Church of Saints Peter and Paul remains a long-standing focal point in the village centre, while the surrounding terrain lends itself to walking and cycling on country routes.

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.
