Pilgrimage to the Mountains

In the summer of 1833 the Czech romantic poet K. H. Macha and his friend walked from Prague to Snezka – the highest mountain in Bohemia. The journey to the Krkonose mountains had a major influence on Macha´s literary work. The film follows the pilgrimage of the art historian Jiri Zemanek and his friends, who decided to make the same journey nowadays. We will witness their journey and discover the beauty and magnificence of nature, far away from the rush of modern life, but we will also experience the hardships of travellers. We will encounter Macha´s poetry and we will meet contemporary artists.
