Ústí nad Orlicí has a long association with textile manufacturing, an industry that shaped the town’s growth. This setting links the settled Tichá Orlice valley with the rolling country extending toward the Orlické Mountains.

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.

Country Czechia

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.
