Many years ago we went to Prague but had not toured the rest of the country. Now seemed like the perfect time to get a taste of the rest of the country. We entered from Poland into the Bohemian Alps area. The mountains are beautiful. We took a day hike in the Vitkovice area.Our camp site owner suggested the route. It was a good day on a popular hike to the Polish border and back. We also spent time visiting two small old cities Jicin and Telc and the ruins of Trosky Castle.
