If you are looking for new activities to try in central Europe then Czech Republic adventure travel holidays could be your best bet. This land-locked nation offers visitors a rich and varied landscape to explore – just no beaches. Geographically lots of the outdoor activities in Czech Republic are divided by The Moravian Gate, which presents a diverse topography that splits northern Europe and the river Danube to the south.
During ancient times, this vast expanse of land was a military and trade route passage. Modern travellers preferring Czech Republic adventure travel to trade missions can explore the castles and chateau of southern Bohemia and many beautiful spa towns, not to mention the inexhaustible delights of Prague.
Since the collapse of communism during the Velvet Revolution of 1989, the possibilities for travellers from across the world to enjoy outdoor activities in the Czech Republic have increased year-on-year in this country.
The contrasting terrain contributes to the variation of climate in the country. This is seen in the rolling plains of Bohemia, with plateaus enclosed by low, mountainous regions, to the hills of Moravia towards the southern region of the country. Trekking is one of the outdoor activities in Czech Republic that is an enjoyable way to explore the terrain throughout the year.
Throughout the Czech Republic adventure travel opportunities are varied, thanks to the country’s relatively hot summers and cold, snowy winters. This reflects the competition of milder, wetter Atlantic weather with the more extreme Russian systems from the north. In Prague, highs of just 10C greet visitors in January – extra layers are a must around this time of year.
Prague is a must for any traveller to the Republic. The Charles Bridge acts as a focal point to the city’s monuments, and is itself a mightily impressive structure. Other unmissable historical areas include Prague castle, Old Town, and the Gothic St. Vitus cathedral, which looms over the Mala Strana district.
As with other culture rich capitals there’s more than just outdoor activities in the Czech Republic to be enjoyed: After a morning spent dizzily admiring the five hundred or so towers and spires, why not unwind with a refreshing glass of world-renowned beer? Various beer gardens and small pubs can be found throughout Prague, while those looking for a more lively night out should head towards Wenceslas Square in the capital’s New Town.
