We run a railway museum. Our collections include historic locomotives, carriages and other railway artefacts. Our aim is to preserve and bring the fascinating world of railways to all visitors.

The Museum was founded in 1891 in connection with preparations for the Czechoslovak Ethnographic Exhibition in Prague. The director of the girls' schools, Jáchym Metelka, was responsible for its establishment.

Operation of the cultural museum.

The memorial was established in 1957 in the grounds of Bran Castle as a reminder of his stay in the Podkrkonoší region before he left for Lešno in Poland. The memorial is a frequent place of visits of teachers, Czech and foreign tourists.

Visit our historical and ethnographic permanent exhibition. The exhibition is ethnographic, about the life and history of Horní Branná and Valteřice, about life under the mountains.

A modern exhibition of historical artefacts related to winter hiking, skiing, sledging and skating, conceived in an interactive form. The exhibits will be renewed on the basis of additions and loans, so as to surprise the visitor with new items over time.

Touch the Giant Mountains and get to know them in one place. The timeless and interactive exhibition documents not only the story of the unique nature, but also its connection with the fate of people who live in the mountains.

We organize exhibitions on the history of Vrchlabí and the development of tourism in the Giant Mountains. The museum is located in four gable houses, which are among the oldest folk buildings in the Giant Mountains.

The old school building, which dates back to 1799, is the most important monument of Stara Paka. It is a timbered building with a carved gable, which has been preserved in its original form to the present day. It is now a state cultural monument.

We offer expositions focused on geological development in the Podkrkonoše Basin or precious stones. It is also possible to see a patrimonial exposition, an exposition of spiritualism and other historical collections.

We operate a historical exposition of the city. Exhibition space is available on the ground floor of the building.

The Balka Paleopark is part of an entertainment and educational project focused on the geological past of the local landscape. The site of the fossil and carnelian site has a complex where you can try out various activities with a geological theme, lectures and various occasional events are also held.

In the museum you will see the life in the Podkrkonoší region of our ancestors - agriculture, individual crafts such as: weaving, butter making, shoemaking, Ponikel ornaments and other glass products, carpentry, beekeeping, brush making, carriage and lace gallery and more. The collection focuses on the skill and artistry of the common people.

In the first room, visitors will find information about the founding of the legions, an analysis of the number of legionaries, and documents about the French, Russian and Italian legions. As it turned out, there were thirty-four legionnaires from Pecov. For example, Mr. Chramosta's grandfather from Pecka was a legionnaire and an engineer of an armored train.
