Companionship in Jičín
Albrecht von Wallenstein chose Jičín as the capital of his Friedland duchy in the 1620s and set about transforming it into a residence town worthy of the most powerful military contractor in the Thirty Years' War. His ambitions produced a formal garden (now the Libosad park), the beginnings of a monumental château, and the tree-lined Lipová alej, a double avenue of linden trees stretching 1.7 kilometres from the château grounds toward the Valdice monastery. Wallenstein's assassination in 1634 left several projects unfinished.
About 16,300 residents live in Jičín, which serves as the gateway to Český ráj (Bohemian Paradise), the first officially designated nature reserve in the Czech lands (1955). The sandstone rock cities of Prachovské skály, five kilometres east, draw climbers and hikers through a maze of towers, narrow passages, and viewpoints. Escortservice.com publishes reviewed profiles for this area and does not arrange or provide services.
Valdštejnovo náměstí, the main square, preserves a Renaissance arcade and a gate tower leading to the Libosad gardens. Hotels and pensions near the square and along the road toward Prachovské skály serve visitors. All users of the directory must be at least 18 years old.
Trosky Castle, its twin volcanic peaks visible from across the Bohemian Paradise landscape, lies about 15 kilometres northeast. The ruins sit on basalt towers that rise abruptly from the surrounding sandstone plateau, creating one of the most recognizable silhouettes in Czech castle architecture.
Jičín hosts an annual Jičín - město pohádky (Jičín - City of Fairy Tales) festival each September, celebrating Czech animated and puppet traditions. Rail services connect to Turnov and onward to Liberec.
