Eastern Bohemia, home to the breathtaking Czech Paradise (Cesk ráj), is one of the most picturesque regions in the Czech Republic. The numerous large rock formations that protrude out of the ground like spikes and pillars in this area of exceptional natural beauty are well known. These formations were formed over tens of thousands of years of erosion by the elements. The area, which is now a UNESCO Geopark, draws hikers and tourists from across Europe with its breathtaking sandstone hills, natural bridges, and towering basaltic pillars and outcroppings, all of which are reachable via a network of trails and scenic drives. There are also numerous historic castles in the area, such as Kost Castle and Trosky Castle. Start your adventure in the town of Turnov, home to the Bohemian Paradise Visitor Center, where you can find plenty of tourist information and maps of the region.

If you visit Prague without having tried goulash or Czech beer, it's as if you've never even been there. Indulge in some sausages as well; you can find them in everything from street food to fine dining establishments. Even in pubs, you can find pork knuckle, which is a very popular meat that goes well with a variety of sauces. However, in pubs, you can order various dishes of quite decent quality and taste, from lightly or heavily spiced chicken wings, depending on your preferences, to tapas and various desserts.
