Hradec Kralove, Kraluv Dvur and pastoral places of the Czech Republic
About this experience
Europe is a wonderful cauldron where everything has been mixed and tangled for 1000 years. The Czechs were lucky to simmer in the midst of this mixture. Everything we encounter on our trip has brewed somewhere between the time of Rurik and the Second Crusade. Every small town here remembers medieval kings, cannon fire, and pools of blood. Besides discussions about various wars, intrigues, and Jan Zizka, we will also pay attention to rural peculiarities.

What we will talk about
History of the cities we will visit is intertwined with the fates of Czech rulers and their wives.
