Police nad Metuji: Masarykovo náměstí - Mariánský sloup - Pramen Julinka
Police nad Metují is best known in Czechia for its Benedictine monastery, founded in 1213. The town lies on the Metuje River in the foothills of the Broumov Highlands, a sandstone upland of northeast Bohemia near the Polish border. Masaryk Square forms the civic centre, with historic townhouses, the Marian Column and the Julinka spring. The monastery church is dedicated to the Assumption of the Virgin Mary, while the town is also associated with Merkur, the Czech maker of metal construction sets. Together, the square and monastic precinct reflect Police nad Metují’s enduring role as a small regional centre.

Police nad Metují has served as a Benedictine monastic centre in northeastern Bohemia since the 13th century. The town lies on the Metuje River beneath the sandstone escarpments of the Broumovské stěny, within the Broumovsko Protected Landscape Area. Its core is shaped by the former Benedictine monastery and the Church of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary, a major Baroque ensemble linked to the long presence of Břevnov Abbey in this borderland. Trails from town lead into the wooded rock country of the Broumov Highlands, while the small centre retains the scale of a historic regional town rather than a resort.

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.
