    The Czech republic has a population of about 10,3 million. Some live in Bohemia, others in Moravia and some in Silesia. Prague is the capital of the Czech Republic.


    Mountain ranges for your country´s natural borders. The surface of our country is rather hilly. The highest mountains in the Czech Republic are the Giant Mountains.

    The Czech Republic does not have any seacoast, but it has many navigable rivers. For example Elbe, Morava, Oder.


    The Czech Republic has a large number of spas. Spa services have a long tradition. The most famous are Karlovy Vary, Františkovy Lázně, Jánské Lázně. Other important spas can be found in Moravia - Luhačovice and Velké Osiny.


    Our country is rich in minerales. Black and brown coal, lignite.


    On January 1st, 1993, the former Czechoslovakia split into two countries - the Czech Republic and the Slovak Republic. Both countries adopted new constitutions.

    There are many spots of great natural beauty in the Czech Republic, as well as areas totally spoiled by industries (e.g. the Most area). South Bohemia is particularly rich in ponds. The most beautiful natural places are the Czech Paradise, "rock town" in Prachov rocks, the Děčín walls, Czech Switzerland, the Boubín virgin forests, Macocha abyss and so on.


    The climate is typically continental with hot summers and cold winters. Temperature hardly ever rises above thirty degrees Celsius and rarely falls under twenty below zero.
