If Carling made maps for tourists, they would probably look a little like this one.

The great thing about the intricate maps of hiking and cycling paths in this country is that the Czech Tourist Club maps, which are green, sold at most major bookshops and cost 95 Kč, is that they mark where the pubs are. A red outlined symbol of a handled pot tells you it’s a drinking establishment with only cold foods served, and a filled-in pot tells you they serve hot food. There’s nothing quite like the motivation to keep on with those kilometers of knowing that a hospoda is waiting just around the bend.
