Hiking
Jičín is a fairytale, historic, but also modern and dynamic city. Whether you were tempted to visit it by its historical monuments, the fairytale stories of Václav Čtvrtek, or you want to head further into the Bohemian Paradise, you are in the right place.

Hiking
The Jičín Fairytale Dragon is an absolute tourist magnet. The iron dragon stands at the beginning of the pedestrian zone in Husova Street. Years ago, it flew to Jičín and liked it so much that it settled there and became a tourist attraction. Now it guards the entire fairytale town. It was created in 2010 by some graduates of the Jiří Kmošek Art School in Turnov.
