Where to eat and drink while in Jičín for world champs?

As you hopefully have booked a place to stay during the championships, we are here to recommend you places to eat in Jičín (and around). Locals approved! Although Jičín is a small town, it surprisingly has a lot to offer. But better go for a tour when the city is no longer under the embargo. (Photo: Café Všehochuť Jičín)

Jičín will write history, again!

The Czech Republic is known among orienteering public and more specifically among MTBO public as a country that can do classy races. The Czech MTBO Cup is regularly attended by delegations not only from neighboring countries, and if you ask them they like the course settings as well as the Czech MTBO community. Even Jičín is no newcomer to the organization of races for the international orienteering elite. Come and see how Jičín already made history!
