Selfie with Host, Hradec Králové, Bohemia, Czechia I am so incredibly grateful for all of the people who hosted me during my travels!
"Hradec Králové (Königgrätz in German) is a statutory city in eastern Bohemia, located at the confluence of the Elbe and Orlica. It has approximately 94 thousand inhabitants and is the capital of the Hradec Králové region. Together with nearby Pardubice, it forms a metropolitan area with 340,000 inhabitants.
Due to its favorable characteristics, the territory of Hradec was already inhabited in prehistoric times. In the Middle Ages, it was the dowry city of Czech queens, and it is to this period that the Gothic cathedral of St. Ducha on its Great Square, which today, alongside the White Tower and the Old Town Hall, is one of the city's landmarks. In the years 1766 to 1857, the city served as a military fortress, due to the lack of interest of the city, it was restored and abolished only in 1884. The city administration made full use of the possibility of complete management of urban development. This literally freed up space for the golden era of Hradec Králové architecture at the beginning of the 20th century, from which, thanks to the buildings of Gočár and Kotěra, the city earned the title Salon of the Republic.
Hradec Králové is a university town, the University of Hradec Králové, some faculties of Charles University and the University of Defense teach here. For example, the regional court or the bishops of the Royal Hradec Catholic and Czechoslovak Hussite dioceses are based here. Klicper's theater is a recognized scene that has won the award "Theatre of the Year" four times, artkino Central is proud of the award "Best European cinema for young audiences" from 2008. Hradec Králové Park 360, which was created in part of the area of the former military airport, provides space, among other things, for the summer of the Rock for People festival.
Bohemia (Latin Bohemia, German Böhmen, Polish Czechy) is a region in the west of the Czech Republic. Previously, as a kingdom, they were the center of the Czech Crown. The root of the word Czech probably corresponds to the meaning of man. The Latin equivalent of Bohemia, originally Boiohaemum (literally "land of Battles"), which over time also influenced the names in other languages, is derived from the Celtic tribe of the Boios, who lived in this area from the 4th to the 1st century BC Bohemia on it borders Germany in the west, Austria in the south, Moravia in the east and Poland in the north. Geographically, they are bounded from the north, west and south by a chain of mountains, the highest of which are the Krkonoše Mountains, in which the highest mountain of Bohemia, Sněžka, is also located. The most important rivers are the Elbe and the Vltava, with the fertile Polabean Plain extending around the Elbe. The capital and largest city of Bohemia is Prague, other important cities include, for example, Pilsen, Karlovy Vary, Kladno, Ústí nad Labem, Liberec, Hradec Králové, Pardubice and České Budějovice, Jihlava also lies partly on the historical territory of Bohemia." - info from Wikipedia.
Summer 2019 I did a solo cycling tour across Europe through 12 countries over the course of 3 months. I began my adventure in Edinburgh, Scotland and finished in Florence, Italy cycling 8,816 km. During my trip I took 47,000 photos.
