Study visit in the Sudetes

On 21-22.11.2023 partners of the Central Mountains project were participated in the study visit organized by the Czech partner – Association of Regional Brands. Partners were staying in the Sudetes, and more precisely in the Krkonose Mountains, where they discussed management, communication and next project activities and got to know with the Sudetes region resources and potential, seeing the solutions existing there, which might have been important for other mountain regions – the Alps and the Carpathians.

Partners learnt about solutions for the use of regional brands (Krkonose brand) and got to know the cultural resources in Ekocentrum DOTEK. In the Horni Mala Upa municipality, they were able to see interesting ideas regarding cooperation between local governments and entrepreneurs such as Pivovar Trautenberk  and Nadechni se .

The second day was focus on solutions that are worth considering while developing cross-border functional areas in the Sudetes or the Carpathians. These solutions strengthen the cooperation of rural SMEs with producers of regional products. Parters hosted Farma Basařovi, Farmářský Dům – Vrchlabí, Veteran restaurant Car Club , that have developed an interesting concept of cooperation. In addition, partners learnt about the products of the Krkonose regional brand.
