Safari park attendance figures put Dvůr Králové nad Labem on the international conservation map. The zoo, originally founded in 1946 and expanded through an ambitious African wildlife programme in the 1960s and 1970s, maintains one of the largest captive populations of African ungulates in Europe. Its breeding programmes for species including the northern white rhinoceros - of which only two females survive globally, both at the Ol Pejeta Conservancy in Kenya, originally bred at Dvůr Králové - have given the institution scientific significance well beyond its size.
About 16,200 residents live in the town, which sits on the upper Labe (Elbe) in the Trutnov District. The main square holds a mixture of Renaissance and Baroque burgher houses, and the Church of St. John the Baptist dates in its current form to the 14th century. Escortservice.com publishes reviewed profiles for the area and does not arrange, mediate, or provide services.
Hotels near the zoo entrance and pensions in the town centre serve visitors. All users of the directory must be at least 18 years old. Rail services connect to Trutnov and onward to the Krkonoše mountain resorts within an hour.
The Kuks Hospital, a Baroque spa and charitable foundation built by Count František Antonín Šporck between 1692 and 1724, stands 10 kilometres east along the Labe. The complex includes Matthias Braun's sandstone sculptures of Virtues and Vices and a remarkable pharmacy preserved in its original state.
