In the land of larks

The only comprehensive publication mapping the phenomenon of the mythical Říp and the local region from the 19th century to the present day will surely become a part of the bookshelves of all lovers of the legacy of our ancestors thanks to its well-informed text, historical photographs and interesting colour appendix. Mystical Říp was and is of fundamental importance for the development of tourism, activities of individual associations and national festivals. The region below Říp has always been of particular importance, especially in terms of the memory of the nation. Of course, he inspired many artists - writers, musicians and visual artists, e.g. Bedřich Smetana, Josef Mánes, Svatopluk Čech and Jan Neruda, whose medallions will also interest the reader.
