Jan Adolf II. ze Schwarzenberga jako cestovatel

The present study focuses on travels of Johann Adolf II of Schwarzenberg. His two English journeys are investigated only briefly and viewed from a different angle than in other studies. The prominent part of the treatise concerns the Italian journey of 1836 and observes particularly the prince’s interests related to economic inspiration, as well as personal and organizational aspects of travel. During the Italian journey, the company of travellers faced difficulties such as the crossing of the Alps or illnesses. The aim of the travel was to see big part of Italy from Milan to Venice and Rome, as well as other cities as far as Naples. The atmosphere of the journey resembled a family holiday, because the travelling company included even Princess Eleonore and their two small children. The study also focuses on other Johann Adolf’s journeys, for instance the “gentleman” journey to France or the diplomatic journey to Berlin.
