Sure it helps if you understand what’s going on but I don’t think it’s entirely necessary. That’s essentially what happened to me when I arrived in the city of Trutnov in the northern Czech Republic. I was only staying in Trutnov as a base for visiting the Adršpach-Teplice Rocks National Park, but I got much more than I bargained for when I arrived for the local festival of “Už ho nesou“.

The only other tourists I encountered in Trutnov were passing through for the Adršpach-Teplice Rocks and even then I don’t think they were staying in the city.
