Leaf-bed on the red track in Beskydy Mts.

I have to say it makes me mad ;-) when someone says, that she/he's going to the Czech Republic in Eastern Europe. It is not true. The expressions "Western Europe" and "Easter Europe" are just bad custom words in time before 1989 year. I hope these "custom expressins" will be forgotten as soon as possible.
The Czech Republic is placed in the center of Europe. Ok, all citizens of other European countries as Poland, Slovakia, Hungary, Austria, Switzerland and Germany could say that their country is in the center of Europe. All of them are right, because all of these countries are geograficaly situated in the centeral Europe.

Although you can find my country at the maps of other net companies, I would prefer to look for the places and addresses in my country at mapy.cz, because you can find each detail here. Although the operating is nly in my mother tongue, it has just the same buttons the main, satelite, hybrid. The mapy.cz have one more function - touristic/hiking map with all tracks.
