General information
East Bohemia combines elegant towns, castles, spa traditions and access to some of Czechia’s most popular mountains, especially Krkonoše and the Orlické Mountains.
Trips and nature
Krkonoše are the highest Czech mountains, with ridges, meadows, waterfalls and winter resorts. The Orlické Mountains are quieter and softer, good for hiking and cycling.
Food and atmosphere
Hradec Králové, Pardubice, Litomyšl and many castles add urban and aristocratic history, while mountain villages preserve winter and hiking traditions.
Transport and stay
Towns are reachable by train, but mountain areas are easier with a car or regional buses. Winter weekends can be busy in resorts.
