Czechia

Temperate continental climate—warm summers, cold snowy winters. Mountain borders (Krkonoše, Šumava), sandstone rock “cities” and rolling highlands dominate. Typical sports: trad and sport climbing on sandstone towers, cross-country skiing in Jizera and Jeseníky, white-water rafting the Vltava, gravel‐bike touring Moravian wine routes, and via-ferrata/canyoning in Bohemian Switzerland.
