50 Years of Stories: Czech Central Highlands Protected Landscape Area
Centrum kultury LOVOš, Lovosice
free entry
A traveling photographic exhibition marking the 50th anniversary of the designation of the Czech Central Highlands Protected Landscape Area (CHKO České středohoří), organized by the Agency for Nature Conservation and Landscape Protection of the Czech Republic (AOPK) and the regional office of the Protected Landscape Area administration.
The exhibition is displayed on ten double-sided stands and showcases the unique landscape, nature, and phenomena of the Czech Central Highlands — characteristic cone-shaped hills, diverse flora and fauna, and rich cultural heritage. Most of the photographs on display were selected from last year's photo competition.
In Lovosice, the exhibition runs from May 4–18, 2026 on Václavské Square. The exhibition travels throughout the Ústí Region from March to June: it began on March 6 in Most, then moved to Peace Square in Litoměřice (April 20 – May 3), then to Lovosice (May 4–18), followed by the South Gardens of Děčín Castle (May 20 – June 7), and finally will be displayed from June 8–30 in front of the Rectorate of Jan Evangelista Purkyně University in Ústí nad Labem.
The Czech Central Highlands is the second-largest protected landscape area in the Czech Republic after the Beskids. This year, a total of six protected landscape areas are commemorating their 50th anniversaries as part of the "Year of Protected Landscape Areas" project.
