Mala Upa: Sněžka - lanovka
Sněžka occupies the main ridge of the Krkonoše Mountains in the Hradec Králové Region, directly on the Czech–Polish border. At 1,603 metres, it is Czechia’s highest mountain and a defining summit of the Sudetes. Its upper reaches belong to Krkonoše National Park, which protects valuable alpine habitats and mountain forests. The summit has drawn travellers from both countries for centuries; the Chapel of Saint Lawrence, consecrated in 1681, remains one of its enduring landmarks. On the Czech side, Sněžka rises above Pec pod Sněžkou, while mountain routes from Poland meet the same crest. Forested lower slopes transition to open high-mountain ground near the ridge, in marked contrast to the valleys below.

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.
