Vrchlabi
Vrchlabí combines the compact character of a mountain town with the open setting of a river valley in a way that reflects its position in the foothills of the Krkonoše Mountains. The Labe runs through the town after leaving its source area high in the range, while wooded slopes rise around the built-up centre. Vrchlabí developed as an estate centre and retains Vrchlabí Castle, a Renaissance building dating from the 16th century. Today it is also home to the administration of Krkonoše National Park, linking an urban centre with one of Czechia’s most important protected mountain landscapes. Houses, churches and public buildings are framed by the lower ridges of the Krkonoše.

The upper Elbe defines the setting of Vrchlabí — the river runs through this town below the Krkonoše Mountains, linking its compact centre with valleys that rise toward the Czech Republic’s highest range. Long associated with mountain travel and local crafts, Vrchlabí remains a working town as well as a useful starting point for the surrounding highlands. The 16th-century Renaissance Vrchlabí Castle and surviving timbered houses on Náměstí Míru give the centre a clear historical focus. Nearby, Krkonoše National Park protects alpine meadows, glacial landforms and the upper reaches of the Elbe.

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.
