General information about the Czech Republic
Czech Republic (Czech Česká republika) is a landlocked country in Central Europe with about 10.5 million inhabitants. It is bordered in the west by Germany, in the north by Poland, in the east by Slovakia and by the south by Austria. It is composed of the three historical countries of Bohemia (Čechy), Moravia (Czech Morava) and Silesia (Czech Slezsko).
The capital and largest city of the country is Prague.
Recommendations for the Czech Republic
The highest mountain is the Schneekoppe. The border between Poland and the Czech Republic runs over its summit. On 1602 m you have -good visibility – a great and very wide view of the two countries.
Highly recommended are hikes in the Czech Switzerland. This impressive national park borders directly with the Saxonian Switzerland and the transition from Germany to the Czech Republic is in this case fluent.
Especially impressive is a tour to Prebischtor. This is the largest sandstone gate in Europe and attracts most visitors from near and far every year.
Tschechische Krone as currency
Although Czech belongs to the European Union, the euro was not introduced as a currency. You still have to pay with the Czech crown in the country.
