Undiscovered Beauties of Our Country

Congratulations on winning bronze in the 2022 IIHF hockey championship! Greetings from Finland.

[@susenka862]

Thank you very much. 🫂

[@mikeklein1779]

I'd rather not think about that bronze medal game...but it would be cool if the IIHF got in touch with Janek and Honza to welcome everyone to the tournament in 2024.

[@TristanJCumpole]

@@mikeklein1779 Man, that would be too cool. Very proud of Czechia for bringing their game and showing they're running with the best of them. Torille tavataan, or however that is in Czech!

[@globetrotterwien]

Without Russia it's not the same

[@frantisekleiterman2082]

Díky!😄

[@KickassUncle]

My expectations for this Sunday in Warsaw were: 1. In the morning, a Zoom meeting with my family in Sydney . Check. 2. In the afternoon, lunch with friends. Unfortunately, family/work/business made that impossible. 3. In the evening, a new Honest Guide video. Czech.

[@ricardobento8421]

This guy should be promoted to tourism ambassador ahah im visiting Prague for 2 weeks in august because of you, tickets booked! Love from Portugal

[@karencampbell4247]

Thank you for virtually taking me “home”. I lived and taught in that area for just over two years. At my first school in Prachen we walked to Panská Skála for PE one day. Panská Skála became one of my favorite places to go just to sit. There are so many beautiful and unique places to discover in the Crystal Valley. The best thing to discover is the people!

[@kaiyoticbelgian7333]

I've never been to czechia but nevertheless, I watch your videos religiously. Your positivity and humor combined with lots of interesting information and your softspokenness makes me want to visit Prague one day and buy you guys a few rounds of beer. Have a wonderful day

Every one of your videos is knowledgeable, funny, generous, kind, considerate, respectful, helpful, very well produced with great video/audio quality, entertaining, educational and always with a sincere message of how to be a good human being. You let us know what is cool, what is not and how to deal with it. You also keep a strong level of integrity and never sell out. This is a rare and I'll say, beautiful thing and the good vibe ripples go far and wide. You are our heroes. Thanks Janek and Honza.

[@HONESTGUIDE]

Thank you very much for such a wonderful comment, incredibly happy to read words like these, děkuji! 💛

[@namcat53]

@@HONESTGUIDE Hey man, I'm just telling it like it is...You're very welcome Janek. Claire and I love Praha a lot....hope to come back soon. Your videos are the best, always an inspiration and you guys are REALLY funny. My favorite is when you use the Spongebob "2 hours later" thing. Brillant. Say Hi to Honza for us. All the best!

[@tinaperez7393]

@@HONESTGUIDE People all over the world definitely feel the same. So many commenters always say every place needs their own Honest Guide and Janek & Honza! The usual progression after seeing one or two videos is that you become a fan and watch as many others vids as you can and then you not only want to visit Prague but ALSO Janek & Honza! They've unintentionally made themselves into among Prague's top tourist attractions! 😸👍❤️💕

[@BeingEverywhere]

Panská skála is a very good example of columnar Basalt. Basalt is an extrusive rock which is created by a volcanic eruption (can be a gentle eruption). When the lava cools, the joints are formed in a hexagonal form which is a common form and not very rare. Thanks for showing this. I will love to visit this place... Greetings...

[@antiquity4858]

another example would be the devil's postpiles in the states. nevertheless, it is a great example!

[@toastmastert7110]

*Devil's Tree Stump... I actually live less than an hour away

[@JustthatRob]

Or even Giants Causeway, NI :-)

[@bob-omb9007]

I'm half Czech but live in the UK and every summer I go see my grandparents. I love how this video is set in the Liberec as that is around where I'm from. Keep up the good work guys. Dekuji!

[@johnk2415]

Awesome episode Honza a Janek. I always enjoy when people show the true beauty of our country. I would love to see more episodes of the Czech Republic’s beautiful natural wonders and I’m sure you’re audience would enjoy as much as well. One place you could show is Moravský kras. The true beauty of this place is understated and not often shown outside of CZ. Great job and keep up the good work. Na zdraví!!

[@dirkschwartz1689]

This is a wonderful episode, thank you so much! Kamenický Šenov (Steinschönau in German) is actually the Chech partner town of the town I live in, Rheinbach in Germany! After WW II, a lot of glass blowers from Bohemia emigrated to Rheinbach, so this became a town for glass manufacturers as well. There is even a glass making trade school here and a glass museum. Now I am even more motivated to learn some Czech, get in touch with the Kamenický Šenov friendship club here in Rheinbach, and after revisiting Prague coming September, I will make sure to go and visit Rheinbach's partner town and the surrounding area in the North of the Czech Republic! :)

[@chrisglover1978]

My wife is from Kamenciy Senov, been there lots of times, and eateb in the retaurant you featured. Watching the glass blowing is fascinating.

[@koene2276]

Been to Panska Skala and Kamenicky Senov 10 years ago! I can heartily recommend it, the region is beautiful.

[@misamsung6191]

Seeing the basalt columns reminded me of the Giant's Causeway in Ireland. But without the huge numbers of tourists. I love the tours around the Czech republic and Prague, somewhere I'd like to visit but will most likely never do.

[@Bambi511]

Hi guys. I'am from Jablonec. Jablonec is near to Liberec Definitely come visit Ještěd and also Jablonecká přehrada. Sometimes locals call it Jablonecké sea. You can also visit Novovesák or just go into random forest, because our forests are beautiful.

[@howardf5264]

That is columnar basalt, which forms five or six-sided columns as it cools and freezes.

[@linux_doggo]

What fascinates me about this video is not the things themselves, but the sheer enthusiasm that Janek talks about them with

[@lukasvalenta]

I grew up in Kamenický Šenov nad Nový Bor, so this episode makes me happy

[@filippelant9501]

Czech word at the end: secese = Art Nouveau 5:29

[@mortisCZ]

Thank you. I wanted to add this translation but you've been faster. 🙂

[@schlollepop]

The Austrian heritage shows through here. Wiener Sezession is the equivalent to Art Nouveau. Secese surely derives from that word.

[@filippelant9501]

@@schlollepop That is suprising to me, I always thought that "Jugendstil" is the equivalent of "Art Nouveau" in German... I´m also curious about the ethymology of the word "Sezesssion/secese", because it carries some negative connotations. Any thoughts on this topic? :)

[@michaelmartini3884]

I am from the German town to which the Palme family and many other german speaking people fled after WW2. Today we have a similarly large glass industry and the cities are twinned today. Branches of the Palme family still run different glass and lamp shops and manufacturies.

[@slowcal4]

The best thing about a Sunday is the videos you guys bring out. I am always excited and eager to watch a new video

[@chrisb3489]

I like the calm movements of the camera . Thank you for it . The rocks and archtitecture are really nice

[@TristanJCumpole]

8:34 - maybe it's time to do a collab with the Lock Picking Lawyer and clean out the Charles Bridge in a couple of hours?

[@Ochikrasnye]

11:03 I actually think the Lasvit building fits really well into this street

[@karlabateman234]

Wow your forests and nature are beautiful!! The city too but the country side is the best!

[@clairehachey2189]

Hello from Canada! Awesome video and such beautiful areas :) Cheers!

[@paolagrando5079]

The building with the outside made of glass tiles would have been more interesting if it was stightly tinted. Maybe, green like the scales of a lizard. But perhaps there were some regulations to keep it as simpke as possible. I do love all the glass little details around the area, like on the "convesation chairs" under the tree.

[@flyLS]

Been there in Nový Bor various times, a lot to enjoy walking, lovely city

Well, these places will form one of my next motorbike tour in Czech Republic. A bit to too far east for the ride this weekend, but it is definately on the bucket list. Thanks for the sharing, and for the link to the map.

Fantastic,loved the glass making segments. In my plukey youth I worked for Valletta Glass on the island of Malta in their delivery department. You would never work as a glass blower. That job is always passed father to son

[@yamirkaibarra5415]

I will be in Czech Republic on July and at liberec too

[@mortisCZ]

That's the same region. Make sure you have some time for trips around Liberec. These forests are lovely mid summer as they are much cooler and less dry baked than cities. 🙂

[@tuniec1989]

Janek, do you and Honza ever do these features in Czech for your own country to watch? This one in particular I will share with my friend in Brno who loves design and is a young interior decorator. He speaks some English, so he should grasp most of this video, but I thought maybe this same video with your commentary in Czech would be quite popular.

[@velartjakub]

They have a second channel called "Kluci z Prahy" and there similar/same videos as are on this channel but in Czech

[@ilap381]

Love all the places featured!!

[@KrisBest]

Lovely! :) Will you do other places in the Liberec region? Like the Krkonoše or Bohemian Paradise?

[@d.s.8918]

Time for another trip into this area for a second video. Here are some proposals from my side: visit the fancy Motoklub Pekelné Doly (Tip: Best by bike then entrance is free ;-) just around the corner are the Tiské stěny in the same area in summer time a very white beach (I saw this very seldom at a lake) at Hamr na Jezeře welcomes you. Finally a very scenic look araoud from the top of the hill with this (I call it Sputnik) Restaurant, the Ještěd. I assume you know them almost all if not - hurry up these things are worth while to discover and when you can't get enough from fancy stones, the Adršpašské skály (other direction) should be on your list as well. Na zdraví

[@margsangster8994]

Thanks guys, great video as always! Quick question- can you get to the Panska Skala on picnic transport pls as I’d love to visit that area when I’m in Prague again at the end of this year!

[@omniacontrariasunt]

Love this channel ❤️

[@boronsson]

Wow didn't know about Panska skala and it's actually only a bit more than a half hour from where I live in Germany :O, should go there maybe

[@timbyrne914]

A bit of casual research shows that basalt columns are probably date to volcanic fissure activity 30m years ago. The fissures were part of the European Cenozoic Rift System - a system of faults that developed as a result of the development of the alps. Basalts are most commonly the results of ocean volcanic activity, but they are also common in rift systems where deep mantle magmas make their way to the surface without too much mixing with continental crust. Basalt fractures like this when thick basalt flows solidify at the surface allowing the interior to cool slowly and fracture in an organized way. The surface layer above them is tyipcally blockier and randomly fractured like the upper layer you can see at Zaltý vrch.

[@Darwinek]

The fate of the Elias Palme factory is indeed very sad. There are thousands of beautiful dilapidated buildings like that in the Czech borderlands (Sudetes). The local German population was expelled after WW2, then communists ruled the country for 40 years. The wounds are still visible all around.

[@FanaxLt]
