The Czech Republic developed in 1993 as the successor state to Czechoslovakia, and is composed of the three regions Bohemia, Moravia and Czech Silesia. The country is bordered on the west and north-west by Germany, to the north by Poland, to the east by Slovakia and to the south by Austria. The Czech Republic is home to many historic-cultural monuments, including numerous castles, palaces and monasteries, many of which are UNESCO world cultural heritage sites. But the Czech Republic also offers a diverse landscape: both mountains and many bodies of water are waiting to be explored, and many areas have been declared nature preserves due to their ecological diversity. A comprehensive palette of sports options and culinary delicacies round off the varied possibilities in the Czech Republic and ensure an unforgettable holiday!
Krkonoše: The Krkonoše (Giant Mountains) is the highest mountain range in the Sudetes, on the border between Poland and the Czech Republic; the Sněžka reaches a height of 1,602 m. The Krkonoše has been a protected national park since 1959 (Poland) or 1963 (Czech Republic), respectively. Large areas of the Krkonoše are also protected under UNESCO as a biosphere reserve.
