The study characterises the interest of the Czechs in the Tatras up to the beginning of the 20th century, primarily in the pages of newspapers and magazines, but also as part of carnival celebrations. This interest is interpreted through the themes that were central to Czech travellers, who then reported on them in Czech periodicals. The most prevalent theme was shepherding, which as mentioned by almost all travellers who wrote about the Tatras. A less common theme was the motif of the Tatra mountain guide, which Czech travellers began to notice in detail from the last third of the 19th century onwards. The fact that Czech interest in the Tatras continued into the late 19th and early 20th centuries, especially on the Galician (Polish) side, is evidenced by the inclusion of the theme of the mountain centre of Zakopane and the Polish Tatras as the main title of the Sokol “Šibřinky” in 1902.

The beginning of Czech interest in the Tatras can be placed between the 1820s and 1860s, when the topic of the Tatras started appearing in Czech periodicals. However, as early as the 1820s, it was also featured in a German (and simultaneously French) publication by Emanuel Kratochvíle von Kronbach, which includes thirty color lithographs. For Czech travelers, the Tatras were something that did not directly relate to their historical territory, but they perceived them as a Slavic mountain range they wanted to explore more thoroughly and popularize back home in Bohemia. During this period, Czechs primarily explored the Tatras from the northern side, making the village of Zakopane and the nearby natural beauties of the Tatras, such as Morskie Oko, the Kościeliska Valley, or the Three Spiš Lakes, their main destinations. The first, and quite extensive, contribution dedicated to the southern (Hungarian) Tatras dates back to 1847 and comes from the pen of the physician Vilém Lambl. From the 1860s onwards, there was a clear interest in the Tatras among Czech painters, which was particularly evident in the works of František B. Zvěřina. In Bohemia, the Tatras were reported on by representatives of the Czech intelligentsia after their travels, including the poet Vítězslav Hálek, whose work was influenced by his experiences from his journey to the Tatras.
