In June 2000 the trip is going to the Czech Republic. First of all it is a country I have not visited before and secondly I have got the opportunity to vist a good friend there. His name is Jaroslav Pechacek, and I met him in Oslo on my way home from the my first trip to North Cape.
Meet Jaroslav here.

Jaroslav lives in

From Ellidshoej I have about 1250 km to Vysoke Myto.

It's very important that the trip is carefully planned.
In December 99 I started planning the trip through Germany.
I use Marco Polo maps, bought in Germany. (1:200.000)
Jaroslav has been busy too. He has made a plan for our trips in the week we are going to spend together. He has sent me a map of the Czech Rep, which I have not been able to buy in Denmark.(1:500.000)

Terræn. Tjekkiet er naturligt opdelt i 2 landskaber, i vest den lave, frugtbare højslette Cechy (Böhmen) og i øst det ligeledes frugtbare sænkningsområde Morava.(Mähren). Mod syd-vest afgrænses Cechy af Böhmerwald med Arber (1457 m) som højeste punkt, mod NV af Erzgebirge og mod NØ af Mähriske landryg, der adskiller Cechy fra Morava. Højsletten, hvis overflade er dækket ad løss, afvandes af labe (Elben) og bifloden Vitava(Moldau) og er foruden af Böhmerwald og Erzgerbirge omgivet af brudbjergene Sudeterne med Snezka som højeste punkt, (1602 m). Bjergene er især mod N mineralrige og langs brudlinierne, hvor der i tertiærtiden fandtes vulkaner, er der stadig varme kilder, bl. a. i Karlovy Vary. Morava afvabdes mod S af Morava og mod N, hvor der findes vigtige kulminer omkring industribyen Ostrava, af Odra.
