25. 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.

26. 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.

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.

This old craft is one of most
widely used crafts in our

half of the 14th century (1363). In 1450, there were already as many as twenty ponds
covering about 700 hectares

39. 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.

wear those clothes to present days but only for special events.
