Czechia

Central Bohemia is the countryside that wraps around Prague: gently rolling land cut by river valleys, with pine woods, fishponds, orchards and villages where a baroque chapel or a castle on the skyline is part of the ordinary view. The Berounka winds through it, the forests of Křivoklátsko cover its hills, and the Bohemian Karst shows pale limestone cliffs above the valleys.

For now, the Czech selection holds a single way of staying here: glamping. A tent or lodge with a real bed puts you close to meadow and forest edge while keeping the comfort that makes a few days away restful. Mornings bring birdsong and dew on the grass; evenings can be spent outside as the light leaves the fields.

It is a quiet kind of Czech trip, built around walks along rivers, cycling between villages and long afternoons outdoors – glamping in Czechia as a way of spending time in the landscape rather than passing through it.
