Teplice: Doubravská hora
Doubravská hora defines the setting of Teplice — the wooded hill rises above the city’s eastern side and is crowned by the historic Doubravská hora Castle. Teplice lies in northern Bohemia at the foot of the Krušné hory, or Ore Mountains, a broad range along the Czech-German borderland. The fortress was founded in the late 15th century by the nobleman Jakoubek of Vřesovice and controlled approaches to the spa town. Teplice has long been shaped by thermal springs; colonnades, parks and spa buildings give its centre an elegant urban character. Doubravská hora is part of the city itself rather than a distant mountain destination, bringing woodland, fortifications and the open Teplice Basin together.

Teplice straddles the transition between the Ore Mountains and the north-west Bohemian lowlands, a position whose thermal mineral springs shaped it into a long-established spa town. The springs have been documented since the 12th century, and the town grew around treatment houses, parks and its historic spa quarter. Teplice later attracted European aristocrats and artists; Ludwig van Beethoven and Johann Wolfgang von Goethe met here in 1812. Today, spa architecture sits alongside the everyday life of a regional centre, with the wooded slopes of the Ore Mountains close by.

The Ore Mountains and the Elbe valley define much of Ústecký kraj - coalfields, fertile river slopes and a major transport route have shaped its industry, agriculture and settlement. Around Most, decades of lignite extraction have altered the basin, with extensive land reclamation continuing alongside active mining. To the north, the region reaches the Elbe Sandstone landscape of Bohemian Switzerland National Park, home to Pravčická brána, a natural sandstone arch. The Elbe also links Ústí nad Labem with Litoměřice and Terezín, whose 18th-century fortress later became a Nazi ghetto and prison during the Second World War.

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.
