The most beautiful areas of Eastern Bohemia
What to visit in Eastern Bohemia
Eastern Bohemia is a region located within two regions: Hradec Králové and Pardubice. Most of this region is occupied by the fertile Elbe lowland, but tourists and hikers are most interested in its edges, where you will find beautiful mountains such as the Giant Mountains, Eagle Mountains or Kralický Sněžník. The southern region of the area rises into the Vysočina region and includes one of its parts in the form of the Iron Mountains. However, the most visited part is the Broumov region with its sandstone towns – the most famous of them are the Adršpach-Teplice rocks or the famous and beautiful Bohemian Paradise at the western end. Eastern Bohemia thus has a lot to offer
The Giant Mountains
The highest mountains in the Czech repub
Picturesque Giant Mountains (in Czech called Krkonose) are the highest mountains in the Czech Republic and throughout the Sudeten system. They are characteristic by bare rounded ridges with stone slopes under the peaks and deep valleys. The highest mountain Snezka (1 603 m asl) is compared to other peaks sharper and clearly dominates the entire mountain range. There are also several nice waterfalls, beautiful upland meadows with peat bogs. River Elbe (in Czech called Labe) springs here – it is one of the longest rivers in Europe. Along the longest and highest Silesian ridge leads the state border with Poland. continue reading

Železné mountains
Colorful Region
The Iron Mountains are distinguished by their geological formation. Before you get to the Iron Mountains you have to overcome the mountain range, which stretches from Zdirec Doubravou to Chvaletice, some 50km. I could call it myself a small example of the Rocky Mountains in the US. There are two forests in the Iron Mountains. The Polom Forest and the Lovětín Gorge are the youngest forest in the Czech Republic. Then river Doubrava with beautiful valley and Chrudimka with dam Seč. continue reading
