A Wheelchair User’s Guide to South Bohemia, by a Wheelchair

"Honza, let’s get started. What’s your vision?"
"Well, Ivan, it shouldn’t be just another mapping project—there’s enough of that around lately."
"Exactly. We should give wheelchair users a few tips on where to go and what to try in our region. Detailed information is easy to find online or at information centers these days."
"Right! Let’s write about places we know and trust, adding useful notes where needed. We’ll include activities and try to think of everyone—athletes, families with kids, older visitors, and people with more severe disabilities. That way, everyone can find something, discover our region, and feel inspired to explore further."
"Let’s do it, Honza. How should we start? Maybe like this?"
