David Černý (°1967) is a Czech artist best known for creating a number of contentious and provocative sculptures.

Among his most well-known works is the 1999 satirical sculpture "Horse," which depicts St. Wenceslas resting on the belly of his dead horse. It was originally put near the lower end of Wenceslas Square, but it is now in the Lucerna Passage in Prague's New Town.

This monument was placed with the help of Dagmar Havel, Václav Havel's sister-in-law and the owner of the Lucerna, who agreed with the artist that the piece would hang in the Lucerna Passage until constitutional monarchy was restored in the Czech Crown's lands.

The baroque former hospital of Kuks is an impressive sight to see. The hospital rises on the edge of a hill above the right bank of the Elbe river and is protected as a national cultural monument of the Czech Republic since 1995.
The hospital, together with the adjacent Church of the Holy Trinity, was built gradually in the years 1707–1748, in the initial phase according to the project of the Italian architect Giovanni Battista Alliprandi.

Today, on July 5, the Czech Republic pays homage to two saints, Cyril and Methodius. The Greek missionaries brought Christianity to the Czech lands in the ninth century. They are credited as the founders of the Slavic language and introducing the Cyrillic alphabet. They also translated the Biblical Gospels into Slavonic, which at the time had no written form.

Modern art with elements of St. Cyril and Methodius can also be seen in Pálava, a well-known wine-growing region with a charming landscape and water reservoir.

Staircases are very rewarding to photograph. The Czech Republic counts some very photogenic staircases. One of them is certainly this spiral stairwell in the 'Sedlec' Cathedral of Assumption of Our Lady and St. John the Baptist in Kutná Hora. The beautiful church and stairwell were designed by Jan Santini Aichel, a famous Czech architect.
Are you also into staircase photography?

Ice hockey is the number one sports in the Czech Republic. Yesterday the Czech team won the bronze medal at the Ice Hockey World Championship in Finland. It was the Czech Republic’s first medal at a major hockey tournament since way back in 2012, when they also took bronze, also in Finland.

Prague is an immensely pretty city all year around, with great picture opportunities in all seasons. But the combination of the old town and the summer sunset may be the very best of all!

Dolní Vitkovice in Ostrava is a former raw steel factory and black coal mine. It was in operation from 1828 until 1998 and was a one-of-a-kind location for heavy industrial manufacturing in Europe. Today, this industrial behemoth has evolved into a one-of-a-kind educational, cultural, and social hub with an impact that extends beyond the borders of the country. Aside from the spectacular skyscrapers and manufacturing buildings, there are scientific and technology facilities, a multipurpose theater, film, art, music, and a few cozy cafés.

Plumlov is a castle rebuilt into a chateau in the town of the same name in the Prostějov district. It was originally founded at the turn of the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries. Like many castles and chateaux in the Czech Republic, festivities are held regularly.

If you are in the neighborhood, you can come and have a look this Easter weekend. Plumlov will be the scenery for juggling, swordplay, falconry, storytelling and puppetry.

A great day out for the whole family!

Did you know that the 75 m high spire of Olomouc's Town Hall was recently completely renovated? The Town Hall is situated in the center of Horní náměstí, the city's Upper Square. It was built in the 15th century and remodeled in the following centuries. The Olomouc Town Hall is an interesting combination of Gothic and Renaissance elements. Like the town hall in Prague, it also boasts an astronomical clock. The Town Hall houses the tourist information centre, so it's a perfect starting place for your Olomouc city exploration.

The Holy Trinity Column is located in the northwestern corner of the square. It is a Baroque religious monument, completed in 1754, after 38 years of work. The column is 35 m tall and expresses gratitude for surviving the plague outbreak that struck Moravia in the early 18th century. Inside the column, there is a small chapel. The Holy Trinity Column was inscribed on UNESCO’s World Heritage List in 2000.

During our 8 day program 'From Prague to Olomouc' you visit Czech Republic's two most important cultural cities: http://ow.ly/CGLk50IzKwj

Did you know that there is a large national community of Ukrainians in the Czech Republic? Labour migration from Ukraine or southeast Slovakia to what is now the Czech Republic began to grow to a large scale in the early 1990s. In 1991, there were just 8.500 Ukrainian citizens on Czech territory. Today, the Ukrainian national minority in the Czech Republic together with the citizens of Ukraine make up the largest membership base with more than 203.000 members, making Ukrainians the largest group of foreigners in the Czech Republic, with a 30% share of the foreign population.
Needless to say, our thoughts are with our Ukrainian brothers and sisters in these troubled times.

The Pavlov Hills, also known as Pálava, are located in the heart of South Moravia's ancient cultural environment, which is one of the oldest inhabited areas in the Czech countries. There were prehistoric communities of mammoth hunters between the towns of Doln Vstonice and Pavlov, as proved not only by mammoth bones and the ruins of fires, but also by the world-famous Venus of Doln Vstonice statue.

It is a 29,000–25,000 BC ceramic figurine of a naked female figure made of burned clay from the Upper Palaeolithic. This figure, together with a few others from adjacent areas, are the world's earliest known ceramic objects.

Several natural reserves safeguard the precious land on the Pavlov Hills' territory. On the southern slope, there are three medieval castle remains and the charming historic village of Mikulov. Legend has it that soldiers from the Roman Legion X planted the now-famous grapevines here.

Radek Vaant captured this stunning image from the top of Stolová hora (Table Mountain). The Holy Hill in Mikulov, with the Chapel of St. Sebastian constructed in 1623, may be seen in the distance.

During our 'From Prague to nature' program, you visit this wonderful region and taste its delicious wines: http://ow.ly/9QNF50HVurA

Did you know that there are three areas in the north of the Czech Republic that are famous for their bizarre rock formations? Millenia of wind, rain, frost and sun have sculpted the sandstone rocks here into fascinating shapes. Inside a rock town, the view from the ground is stunning, but the view from the top will take your breath away. In all these areas you can also enjoy the opportunity to scale challenging rocks.

Did you know that the Czech mountains get a lot of snow during wintertime?
On this picture you can see how persistent snowfall combined with fresh wind created an estimated 5 meters high snowdrift on the Radhošť peak in the Beskydy mountains. Breathtaking shot by Petr Lukeš! Like from another planet.

For this last week of the year, we look back on our personal Czech highlights of 2021. Our autumn trip to Dolní Morava was definitely such a highlight.

The ‘Stezka v oblacích’ (‘Skywalk’ in English) is located in Dolní Morava at an altitude of 1,116 meters. The 55 m high steel construction allows visitors to walk above the treetops. The shape of the ‘Stezka v oblacích’ is reminiscent of the flight of a moth. Needless to say that the view from the ‘Stezka v oblacích’ is well worth the climb. On a clear day the view from the ‘Stezka v oblacích’ stretches up to 70 kilometers.

Prague is considered to be one of the world's most amazing places to celebrate Christmas. Did you know that in pre-Covid times the Czech capital welcomed 700.000 people from all over the world to enjoy the unique atmosphere in the old part of the city? Sadly this year the Christmas markets in the Czech Republic have been cancelled for the second year in a row. We do hope that you can enjoy the Christmas festivities in Prague again next year.

We don’t know a Czech who doesn't like bramboráky. Bramboráky, in English potato pancakes, are very popular in Czechia and are eaten best accompanied by a cold served Czech beer. Bramboráky are prepared from raw shredded / grated potatoes, with a lot of garlic, marjoram, eggs, flour and hot milk added. Here's how to make them! Dobrou chut'!
