BOHEMIAN SWITZERLAND - Leave Prague and come explore nature in Czechia!
Рет қаралды 59,101
3 жыл бұрынLet's leave Prague and go explore nature in Bohemian Switzerland - which is actually nowhere near Switzerland! The national park is located in Czechia near the German border. It's only a 2- hour drive from Prague and you can take the train and local bus. You won't believe these incredible views!

Ahoj! I'm Jen, a Native Californian, living in Prague, Czech Republic for the past 9 years with my husband and our rescue dog Tobik. One fateful night, we drank a bottle of wine, threw a dart at the map, and bought one-way tickets to move our entire lives to the center of Europe! Every day we learn something new, about Czech people, Czech culture, Czech history, Czech language and how to battle the Czech bureaucracy. Dream Prague started as a place to share what we learned with other foreigners living here.

No, urozená královská dcera z české dědičné královské dynastie Přemyslovců Eliška, se provdala morganatickým (nerovnorodým) sňatkem za syna pouhého hraběte Jindřicha z Lucemburku, z francouzské nižší nepanovnické šlechty (panovnická je od knížete výše) Jana, který se pak stal králem manželem. Na vévodství povýšil francouzské Lucemburské hrabství až Karel IV. jako český král a volený císař Svaté říše římské, ochránce víry, po otcově smrti. Kelti obývali celou Evropu již cca 600 let před n.l. ze které je začali vytlačovat Římané, Germáni, Frankové, Ugrofinové..., aby se přes ten zbytek (Češi a Rakušané) převalili v cca 5- -6. století Slované, kteří při stěhování národů přitáhli z Asie. Tedy, první zmínka o českých knížatech spadá do doby, ve které označuje Kosmas (děkan pražské svatovítské kapituly) ve své latinsky psané Chronica Boemorum - Kronice Čechů 1119-1125 otce bájné kněžny Libuše Kroka jako keltského knížete. První zmínka o bájném Čechovi dorazivším na horu Říp, je až o cca 200 let později v Dalimilově kronice 1314-1325, ve kterém však nazývá praotce Čecha pouhým stařešinou. Nicméně, prvním doloženým českým knížetem je syn knížete Hostivíta (syna bájné kněžny Libuše a Přemysla oráče) kníže Bořivoj I. cca 825 - 890, jehož syn Spytihněv I. byl do své zletilosti vazalem velkomoravského knížete Svatopluka I. Po jeho smrti se Velkomoravská říše rozpadla a Spytihněv I. se vrátil cca 895 na Přemyslovské knížectví do Levého Hradce (Roztoky u Prahy), kterému patřily pouze Střední Čechy. Pak spojil všechna česká knížata v Čechách a na Moravě a stal se jejich vůdcem. Prvním českým králem a zakladatelem české královské Přemyslovské dynastie se pak stal český král Vratislav II. 1033-1092.

Hi Jen, great vlog and solid hiking skills! Just a side note: 1310 was when John of Luxembourg took over the Czech throne, as he married Eliska, the last of the Premysl dynasty. The proverbial milk and honey that Forefather Czech observed from Rip turned to gold by then, hence the Golden Age of the Czechs. Downhill from there I suppose, just like your hike!

Hi, Jennifer, Sir_Mac here, as always! If forefather Čech climbed the Říp, it was in 7th century. Your mention is about first record in the chronicle about that event. If it truly happened, no-one knows, but as a legend it is lovely. By the way - Pravčická brána appeared in the very first installment of the Narnia saga. The Pravčická brána will collapse one day. Because of the geological processes and movement, the arch will fall down one day. "Jetřichovice" - derived from Jetřich (also Dětřich), which is in german Dietrich... So there was a lot of men of that name. Like Petrovice (Petr), Karlovice (Karel), Pavlovice (Pavel) ... Let me guess - the happiest of you all were Tobik, because he had free space to be and walk. --- Oh, silly Tobik!

The old Praotec Cech legend is a very interesting one! Especially when you realize just a bit up north in Poland we have a really similar one - except in our version there were three brothers, "praotci": Cech, Lech (Pole) and Rus (Russian I guess). And our legend says the Lech guy saw a nest with eagles and said: This is it for us, guys, we're staying. This was the place today's city of Gniezno is located (also first capital of Poland, and also Gniezno is very similar to Polish "gniazdo" which actually says "nest"). So it seems the Cech guy just went a bit more south, saw Rip and then founded his country, apparently. Not quite sure what happened to Rus, though. Never heard of that guy again, I'm afaid.

Czechs as a West Slavic tribe came to Bohemia in the 5th or 6th century, so the legend about Forefather Czech, although probably fictional, must be placed somewhere around this time. Saying that he arrived at the top of the Říp mountain in 1310 (approx. 700 or 600 years later!) is like saying that America wasn't "discovered" in 1492, but in fact only very recently in the 21th century :D

Well, if ever any forefather Cech existed, he came in Bohemia around 550 AD... Kingdom of Bohemia was formed 1198AD and Duchy of Bohemia was formed 895AD. Just to correct facts. But dont worry, many natives know less about history than you :-)

Nice! You finally left for a bit of fresh air. See? It's nice. And Honestly? That is what I want to do if I ever visit the United States. The nature, the national parks, the amazing rock formations.... it's no. 1 on my list why to visit there. The burgers are close no. 2 tho :-D

IIf you want another good climg go to Kašperk. Seriously, love your dedication :). I mean it with Kašperk, it´s a beautiful castle, and Kašperské hory are very picturesque. It´s next to Šumava (or part of it, no idea, some Czechs will surely correct me, Šuamava is also great, massive, you get the feeling how hard it must have been in the old day winters to get from one place to another.. Kašperské hory next to it are suddenly like a fairytale countryside..

There is surprisingly a lot of nature in Prague itself. I like Prokopské and Dalejské údolí, but Šárka is nice as well and obora Hvězda and I am sure there is a lot on the other side of the river as well.

Hi Jen, on your journey to the Bohemian Switzerland you actually passed two other hidden gems of nature: Krušné hory (Ore mountains) and České Středohoří (Central Bohemian Highlands). Both are protected natural areas, have a good system of marked tourist trails you described, AND are mostly unknown to the most Czech and foreign tourists!

Jen, did you travel around the world in one day? You can do so in Southern Bohemia region, where is a pond called "World" (rybník Svět, Třeboň). Nice easy trail, castle to visitand there are several great candyshops in that town. Suitable trip even for your parents. There are spas, beer brewery. And car camp, if you prefer that over a hotel. Though it is just about 2h car trip from Prague.

@@marysmik9812 LOL if you set your expectations low, then you will always be happy with the reality! I think the biggest problem with the park is just that the trails and stairs are too narrow so even one slow family can slow down the entire hike... one side benefit of the crowds is that you can really show the scale of the rocks - without them, it's hard to explain to people just how enormous they are!

Grandfather Čech led "Czechs" to Říp according to legends before 1530 years. Which is cca year 500 AD. 1310 is the year when the legend was written ;)

Dogs are very clever. They would never jump from the rock or fall or go somewhere where they could fall. They have another sense for this. Even if it looks very dangerous sometimes, they really do know what they are doing. Believe me. Even Tobik. :-) And even if he would see the squirrel. :-)

No ono je to dokonce zakázáno v každém lese. Ale většina lidí na to prdí. IMO pokud máš psa pod kontrolou, tak mi to přijde relativně ok, pokud ale běhá všude okolo, štěká a plaší zvěř, tak už to ok není a ten člověk si říká o zastřelení psa nějakým trigger happy myslivcem.

Oh, and there is beer too. Would be more than glad to chat, drive and show you round :) (no demanding hikes included)

Forefather Czech definitely did not lead his people up the Říp mountain in 1310! By then some of the houses that you walk past in Prague had been built. He came (and it is only a legend) sometime in the 6th century.
