Beschreibung
Embark on a journey through the vanished Orlické Mountains and their foothills. It is beautiful, full of interesting facts and adventures of discovery. The book presents stories from long-ago times, particularly what was interesting in this beautiful region and what has disappeared over the ages, especially in the last century. It describes the fates of defunct glassworks, forges, mills, weaving houses, mining works, and the lost glory of Orlické glass. You will find stories of old castles, learn about vanished roads and transformations of the landscape, as well as former village inns, folk architecture, and small sacred monuments. It brings closer the folk customs, feast celebrations, and folk narratives of the region under the Orlické Mountains. It would be good if it contributed at least a little to your love for this region, familiarizing you with its past and helping you understand the roots of its present beauty.
