Description
This book presents the first major comprehensive monograph on Central Bohemia as a region that has the most diverse geological foundation within the Czech Republic. It is home to large protected areas such as Český kras, Křivoklátsko, Brdy, and the sandstone ravines of Kokořínsko, which create an unusually rich array of natural values. But it is more than that – it is about history and the nation. Most Czech saints, many writers, painters, and musicians hail from Central Bohemia and its natural center in Prague. The Central Bohemian Region is immensely rich in archaeological sites, as well as castles, fortresses, chateaus, and historical towns. It is also the land of the confluence of the main Czech rivers: the Vltava, Elbe, Berounka, and Sázava. Our national identity has been nourished by many sources, but one of the historically most important areas has been the nature, culture, and people-rich Central Bohemia.
