Zacler
Žacléř sits at the foot of the Rýchory ridge in northeastern Czechia, where the Krkonoše Mountains approach the Polish border. The town occupies the eastern part of the range, with a compact centre enclosed by wooded slopes. Rýchorské náměstí forms its civic core, combining a broad central space with municipal and residential buildings that reflect Žacléř’s role as a service centre for nearby settlements. Coal mining shaped local life for generations, and the former mines remain an important part of the town’s identity. Žacléř also serves as a convenient base for exploring Rýchory, a forested section of the Krkonoše away from the region’s larger mountain resorts.

Žacléř has served as a hard-coal mining centre in eastern Bohemia since the 16th century. Beneath the Rýchory ridge, the easternmost part of the Krkonoše Mountains, the town stands close to Czechia’s border with Poland and retains a distinctly upland character. Coal shaped local employment and settlement for centuries; deep mining ended in 1992, while the Hornický skanzen Žacléř recalls this industrial chapter at the former Jan Šverma mine. Trails around Rýchory lead into forest and mountain terrain. Continue through nearby webcams to explore different parts of Žacléř and the Krkonoše foothills.

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.
