Description
Our highest mountains and their nearby foothills are the focus of a book that presents well-known and "unknown" places from an unconventional perspective. Just like in previous volumes dedicated to Brdy and Šumava, it is also a personal confession, a testimony of the feelings that seize us while wandering through this unique landscape. We will ascend the Giant's Mine towards Sněžka, recall the paths of ancient prospectors, avalanche tragedies, and the legendary ruler of the mountains, Krakonoš. We will stop at the grave of the writer, teacher, and violinist Věnceslav Metelka, perhaps even getting emotional while gazing at the panorama of the western Krkonoš. We will reminisce about the first skiers and meet those who do not forget the ancient traditions. Here, we will also find magical, charming places that escape the heaviest influx of visitors.
