The Pardubice Region is a cool area, or "kraj," in the Czech Republic. Its main city and capital is Pardubice.

The highest point in the region is a mountain called Králický Sněžník, which stands tall at 1,424 meters (about 4,672 feet). An important natural line, the European Watershed, also runs through this region. It's like an invisible border that decides where rainwater flows. Water on one side goes towards the North Sea, and water on the other side flows towards the Black Sea.
