Kultura

In Zábřeh, a small town in eastern Czech Republic, everyone knows Jan “Eskimo” Welzl. Born here in 1868, Welzl became one of the most remarkable and unconventional figures of Czech history – a self-taught traveller who ventured through the Siberian Arctic, lived among Indigenous communities, and spent his final years in Dawson City, Yukon. Nearly a century later, his legacy still connects Zábřeh and Dawson City, now cemented by an official partnership.
