Svratouch

Built around the upper course of the Svratka River, Svratouch grew into a highland municipality in the Žďárské vrchy of the Bohemian-Moravian Highlands. In the Pardubice Region, it stands near the historic boundary between Bohemia and Moravia, amid a cool, forested upland of meadows and spruce woods. Traditional timber houses recall the rural building traditions of Vysočina, while the surrounding Žďárské vrchy Protected Landscape Area is crossed by marked walking and cycling routes. The area takes on a different character in winter, when cross-country skiing becomes part of local life.

Pardubický kraj has been an eastern Bohemian heartland of the Czech lands since the Middle Ages. The Labe crosses its western lowlands around Pardubice before the terrain rises toward the Orlické Mountains and the Žďárské vrchy. Pardubice developed around its Renaissance castle and is associated with the Pardubice Steeplechase, a race first held in 1874. To the south-east, Litomyšl is known for its Renaissance château, inscribed on UNESCO’s World Heritage List, while Kladruby nad Labem preserves the stud landscape linked to the Kladruber horse.

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.
