One of the most popular places in the
northern part of the country is the Hradec Králové
region. Located in the northeast end of the Czech Republic,
this region borders Poland in the north. The region’s border is very
significant to tourism as there are many interesting places here.
The Mountain Borders of the Hradec
Králové Region
This region is well known to
adventurers in Europe, especially the mountains which form a natural
border with Poland. Tourists should be able to enjoy the
mountains
during summer as it offers a picturesque yet challenging setting for
those who want to go on a hiking tour. Hiking in this region is not
just for
the experienced – there are a good number of guided trails
that can be easily followed. What made the trails special in this
region is the additional trails
dedicated to those who want to ride
bikes. For those who want a challenge, the uphill ride should be an
adventure. Those who want an easier ride
should consider riding the
cable car uphill.
During the winter season, this region
becomes a favorite for tourists because of the various skiing spots.
Cable cars are now used by skiers who
want to try out trails with
different skill requirements.
Visiting the Region’s Capital
Of course, the region’s capital is a
highly recommended city in the Czech Republic. Just like most major
cities in the country, Hradec Králové is well known
for
its storied structures. Tourists will immediately notice the various
tall towers that exist here. These towers form a part of churches,
castles and
museums. Most, if not all of these structures are
accessible to tourists. The city is also known for its Jazz
festivals, aviation museums and world
class aquariums.
The region’s capital is not the only
city worth visiting in the Hradec Králové region. The
following are notable places that should not be missed by tourists:
Chlum – this
small site near the Hradec Králové is a must for every
history buff. Tourists should be able to visit the site of one of the
bloodiest battles
in history. Every July, tourists and locals visit
the area for war reenactment.
Chlumec
nad Cidlinou – another notable destination in the region, this
picturesque city is well known in the region for Koruna Chateau. The
beautiful
structure is popular because of its striking resemblance of
the Royal Castle.
Hradec Králové should
never be missed by any tourist who wants to have an adventure in the
Czech Republic. The natural setting, historical past and
amazing
architecture should be more than enough for the experienced tourist.
The northern part of the Czech Republic
is a well known destination in Europe. While it doesn’t have many
historic structures like Prague, the northern area
of the country
boasts of an impressive natural setting. Mountains and picturesque
landscapes are common in this part of the country. For that reason,
tourists
flock to this area every summer and winter. This is also the
reason why many men with escorts from Prague visit this region during
their stay.
