This will be about a small town in a small country. The Czech Republic. The state is not too much prominent. But it is sweet like nature and the cities. Both have something delightful. The countryside is everywhere, and in another part of the country, the scenery is different. Many mountains, many hills, and leas. There are forests with evergreens or with leafy trees. And somewhere are mixed forests.

Towns are specials. Some are modern, but more are historical. With an old building, castles or churches and monasteries. In many cities are traditional funfair or other festivities. The famous towns with historical monuments are Prague, Brno, Liberec, Cesky Krumlov, Kromeriz and more.

This country has one specification. It is a paradise for a fairytale. Because there are many old castles, where the fairytales can be filming. This country is famous for filming. There was filming series Three Musketeers, movies Narnia, Amadeus, Asterix and Obelix Mission Cleopatra, Hannibal, Hostel, Mission Impossible – Ghost Protocol and more.

The town, I want to show you, is the same. It is named Nova Paka. There is church, monastery, and brewer. The town is too old. The first written mention is from 1357. It is one of the oldest towns in the country. But what is perfect for people who lived there is the countryside. Nova Paka is on the hill under the Giant Mountains, and around many forests, where they can spend their sphere time walking or searching for inspiration. And when it is a sunny day, they look at the Giant mountains and the highest mountain Snezka.

There is a Library where are 2 sections. For children and adults and there. Next, this building is a theatre where. Nearly is Town’s Museum and Museum of Spiritism. Curiosity in the Nová Paka is a museum of precious stones and fossilized trees that were found in there.

But it is not all. Across the year there are celebrated many things. In the library during the spring, they takeout the goddess of died Morgana and put her to the lake. Twice for the year we celebrate the solstice. In the summer and winter. The summer solstice has more evens than winter. Parade from brewer to the square. Many concerts and there are traditional refreshments. And this all is on the outside. Winter solstice has only shows and snacks. In this, you can buy some Christmas stuff. And the last but not least festivity is a funfair. This is for children or young people, but old people come to theirs too. There is a street with traditional crafts.

Yes, the town is a little conventional but it is modern also, and there are many sports activities like swimming pool, winter stadium, football stadiums, ski areal. And every year Nova Paka arranges a competition in Autocross and Motocross. Competition in Autocross is the European Championship. These days, when it is a competition, you can meet many people from different countries, like England, Germany, Nederland, France, and Russian.

Yes, it is small town and if you want to see some historic sights, near there is a town Pecka, where is old castle in the hill and during a good weather, you can see the whole Nova Paka and nearby villiages. Or little bigger city Jicin, where is many sights and it is gate to the Czech Paradise, where you find many castles or rocks for climbing.

I thing it will be all, of course you can find many stuff in the Nova Paka and do many thing, but you can explode it yourself.
