The Czech Republic in the heart of Europe

Prague is among the most frequently visited cities in the world. Places of interest for tourists are not, however, concentrated just there. Every part of Bohemia and Moravia has something to offer visitors. For some it is old cathedrals and picturescue coves of historical towns, others value the silent mountain valleys or the mysterious atmosphere of romantic ruins and ancient castles.

The Karlstejn castle is one of the most visited sites in Bohemia. It was built under order of Charles IV from 1348- 1355 to serve as the repository of the Czech crown jewels.

Vamberk´s lace Bobbin lace and the town of Vamberk (which is situated in the middle-north part of Czech republic) cannot be thought apart from each other. As can we read in old chronicles, tradition of lace-making in the area of Vamberk is more than 400 years old. Skilful lace makers were straggle over the whole Orlicke mountains (mountains in the north-east of Czech republic), especially in the area of Vamberk.

Blacksmith This old craft is one of most widely used crafts in our country. The beggining of this craft can be placed to Kelt´s times. Recently it is used for house decorating and as an art- craft.

Fish-pond cultivation

The first fishponds may well have been established during the reign of Charles IV. One of the oldest and largest ponds in the Třeboň region, Dvořiště, is datable back to the second half of the 14th century (1363). In 1450, there were already as many as twenty ponds covering about 700 hectares

Czech kitchen and traditional recipes Bohemian cuisine is influenced by two major culinary themes: the German-Czech culinary tradition, with its strong regional variation, dominating naturally in those part of the land which were inhabited mostly by Germans – and Czech Slavonic cooking and eating customs, which are entirely different from the cousine of other Slavic countries.

Czech traditional songs and dances

Czech traditional songs are connected to clothing. In some areas people used to wear those clothes to present days but only for special events.

„Three Kings“

Our children like to sing. We often organise performances at some special events (for example Christmas, Easter and the end of the school year).
