Welcome
Welcome to Hradec
Králové, cradle
for top juniors
We are ready to prepare a high quality event in
a friendly, familiar and fair setting, at a standard
suitable for everyone. We will be offering exciting
activities for both athletes and spectators,
and a worthy promotion of orienteering, thus
contributing to the further development of our
wonderful sport.
Dear athletes,
I am delighted to welcome all the participants
in the Junior World Orienteering Championships.
I am very happy that with our contribution,
participantsintheJuniorWorldChampionships
from more than thirty-five countries will
meet together in the Region. I do hope that
we will not only manage to find the best
world juniors, but also we will contribute to
popularising this beautiful sport and establishing lots of friendly
contacts. JWOC also presents a unique occasion to promote our
Region, which has so much to offer not only to the competitors
and their teams, but also to supporters of orienteering who will
not be at the Championships. Many of them will see the pictures
of the races on their TV screens.
I wish the organisers a successful Junior World Championships
and I wish all the participants good luck. To all others, I wish
a pleasant stay in the Hradec Králové Region.
Lubomír Franc Governor of Hradec Králové Region
Dear sports friends,
Allow me to invite you warmly to the Junior
World Orienteering Championships which
will be held in Hradec Králové and its nearby
surroundings. I am very pleased that Hradec
Králové is the host city for this event of world
importance, especially in such an attractive
sport as orienteering. I am fully confident that
young athletes from all over the world will
find not only interesting courses in our demanding nature, but will
also discover the unforgettable and kindly atmosphere of our city
supported by the hospitality and friendliness of the local inhabitants.
I wish you dear competitors, team officials and guests that you
will be able to say after finishing the Junior World Orienteering
Championships that you have taken part in a marvellous event
with Hradec Králové and its surroundings proving to be a perfect
venue. See you in Hradec Králové!
Zdeněk Fink Mayor of Hradec Králové
The Host City
of Hradec Králové
1225–2015
790 Years of a Highly Progressive
Modern City
Hradec Králové (95,300 inhabitants) is the natural regional and
administrative centre of East Bohemia, a city of cultural tourism
and an attractive tourist destination. It is a town with much
greenery; there are many orchards and it lies at the confluence
of two rivers, the Labe (Elbe) and the Orlice. Natural recreational
facilities available locally include forests, parks and ponds.
Hradec Králové is the home of six faculties for three universities
- the Medicine and Pharmacy Faculty of Charles University,
the Faculty of Military Medicine, the University of Defence and
three faculties of the University of Hradec Králové, for Education,
Philosophy, and Information Technology and Management. The
total number of students attending all these universities each year
is 10,000. They come both from the Czech Republic and also from
abroad, under various student exchange programmes.
Hradec Králové has a dense network of integrated cycle
paths and also lies on an important long distance cycling route,
the Elbe Trail - Elberadweg. Hradec Králové offers a wide-ranging
and diverse programme of cultural and social events. The city has
large experience in organising international festivals, and each
year these attract leading artists in various fields each year. The
top ten events include the Theatre European Regions, Jazz Goes
to Town, Music Forum Hradec Králové or Hip Hop Kemp. Selected
prestigious events are granted the „Regina“ status - no fewer
than 30 major annual events then enjoy certain privileges and in
concerning 2013 calendar, JWOC will be included too.
Hradec Králové Region
The Region of Hradec Králové is situated in north-eastern Bohemia
and embraces the Hradec Králové, Jičín, Náchod, Rychnov nad
Kněžnou and Trutnov municipalities. With an area of 4,758 sq. km.
and a population of 548,368 (as of 31st December 2005) it is among
the smaller regions of the Czech Republic. In the north it borders
with the Liberec Region, to the west with the Central Bohemia
Region and to the south with the Pardubice Region. Part of its
northern and eastern border also forms the frontier with Poland.
The Hradec Králové region offers a wide range of opportunities
for pleasant summer and winter holidays, weekends away or
one-day trips. Get to know this region’s diversity - discover its rich
history, visit some of the varied historical, technical and religious
monuments, or come to see one of the numerous cultural events.
Our region is great for sport, spicing up life with adrenaline or
for simple relaxation and battery recharge. Sample the natural
landscapes of the Giant Mountains.
