The Story
The Czech Republic exudes an distinctive, enchanting and almost mystical romance. Nature in this mysterious land is bizarre, whimsical and unspoilt. There are mountains, virgin beech forests, wild valleys and labyrinths of sandstone cliffs with caves and gorges. In the midst of this idyllic landscape, bears take care of their offspring, black storks hatch their eggs and live in balance with nature with dormouse, ural owls, foxes, wolves and many more. In between there are ancient castles and picturesque buildings that tell of an eventful past.
No wonder the Czech Republic became the “land of fairy tales”.
