Where is it Czech Canada Katarina? And why the name?
18 Jul, 2015
Czech Canada is a National park with untoched forests and lakes in the southern part of the Czech republic, on the borders with Austria. For 50 years during communism these forests nobody was allowed to visit, only few people and army, which was watching the borders. That is why the nature is untouched here. Even houses and estates, which belonged to Czechoslovak citizens of German origin, who had to leave Czechoslovakia after WW II stayed mostly untouched and are now reconstructed and inhabited by artists, etc.
I think, the term "Czech Canada" was used for the first time by a local journalist, to whom forests with lakes and ponds reminded Canada.
