Czech Republic: Bohemian Switzerland

Last Saturday I got three postcards: one from the Czech Republic, one from Portugal and one from Kyrgyzstan.

The card from the Czech Republic shows the Pravčická brána or Prebischtor in Bohemian Switzerland. Bohemian Switzerland is a picturesque region in the north-western Czech Republic on the Czech side of the Elbe Sandstone Mountains. In 2000 a national park was established in the region, which is adjacent to the German Saxon Switzerland National Park. The Pravčická brána is the largest natural sandstone arch in Europa and one of the most striking natural monuments in the whole Elbe Sandstone Mountains. Several landscape scenes in the film The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe were filmed here.


With a nice stamp:
500 years Joachimsthaler (issued 20-01-2020)
European Bee-Eater (issued 12-10-2016)


Thank You very much Tomas!
