Travel to Czech Republic.

After the dissolution of Czechoslovakia, the Czech part found itself without a common single-word name in English. In 1993, The Czech Ministry of Foreign Affairs suggested the name Czechia as an official alternative in all situations other than formal official documents and the full names of government institutions, however this has not become widely used. The official website of the Czech Republic run by the Czech Ministry of Foreign Affairs does not use the name Czechia any longer as of 2005. Its Czech equivalent is Cesko.

The Czech landscape is quite varied. Bohemia to the west consists of a basin, drained by the Elbe (Czech: Labe) and Vltava rivers, and surrounded by mostly low mountains such as the Krkonoše range of the Sudeten mountains. The highest point in the country, the Snežka, at 1,604 metres (5,262 ft), is located here. Moravia, the eastern part of the country, is also quite hilly. It is drained mainly by the Morava River, but it also contains the source of the Oder (Czech: Odra) River. Water from the landlocked Czech Republic flows to three different seas: the North Sea, Baltic Sea and Black Sea. The Czech Republic also possesses a 30,000 m˛ exclave in the middle of the Hamburg Docks, which was awarded to Czechoslovakia by Article 363 of the Treaty of Versailles to allow the landlocked country a place where goods transported downriver could be transferred to seagoing ships. The territory reverts to Germany in 2018.
