Lovely places. Looks very similar to the Czech part of the Beskydy Mountains but with fewer people, which is something I really appreciate :) It will be my pleasure to shar this great post with my followers in my next upvote giveaway.

Thank you!
I have to admit to a certain ignorance - I didn't know that there is Beskydy in the Czech Republic as well. I have already filled the gaps in knowledge (so good to have google maps!). When I think about the mountains in your country, Sudety comes to mind. But I have just found interesting information that for over 40 years a different name has been officially used: "Krkonošsko-jesenická subprovincie". This is because the name of the Sudety is historically very badly associated (the case of the Sudeten Germans was a pretext for the partition of Czechoslovakia by the Nazis). Has the name "Sudety" really been forgotten? Or is it still used unofficially?
That´s interesting :) The word "Sudety" is still used sometimes here but it always refers only to the regions where the Germans used to live until the post war times. As far as I know, it has never been associated with mountains. But looking at the map (of Sudety), I can understand why you guys in Poland used (still use?) this word to refer to the Czech mountains as it indeed pretty much cover the areas with our biggest mountains. That´s interesting. Even for me, someone from Opava (Troppau), a former capital city of one of the Sudetenland provinces...
It's interesting indeed :) We commonly use the name "Sudety" strictly for mountains, like the words Beskidy or Tatry. And we also use the term "Chech Sudets" for mountains on your side of the border.
