My first summer visit of Czechia in the past 3 years. I had the privilege to
show the country to my Malaysian colleagues and could therefore visit places I
would not normally go.
Pardubice area
I spent most of the time in the area around my hometown Pardubice - either running, cycling or hiking.
Toulovcovy Mastale and Bilek
Two of my absolute favourite places near Pardubice. While Bilek valley changed
quite a bit (forestry work), Toulovcovy Mastale were still exactly how I
remembered them.
Jeseniky mountains
I spent several days in Jeseniky mountains - an amazing location with almost
no tourists. It also has the longest suspension bridge in the
world -
Sky Bridge 721, which is of course quite popular.
I also had a chance to visit my best friend, the most talented artist in
Czechia and to buy a few paintings! She can draw almost anything - feel free
to contact her on KPart.cz
Kutna Hora and Prague
I am not a huge fan of big cities, Prague especially, but as I had to travel
there anyway, I took the 2 mandatory pictures. I enjoyed the visit to the town of Kutna Hora much more - it is way less touristy, quieter, cleaner, and full of beautiful
churches.
Vegan
While vegan products are becoming more common in Czechia, it is unfortunately
still rare to find a traditional Czech restaurant offering anything vegan. On top of it, waitresses are often openly laughing about such a question
and make jokes about vegans - which is just a Czech nature. Luckily, Indian
restaurants, tearooms and some pizzerias (ask about milk in dough) are more
vegan friendly.
