You round a low ridge and the 4x4 slows—fields stretch in bands of green and ochre, a stone church perches on a distant rise, and the wind seems to carry the country’s history in its breath. The guide parks by a stream braided with dark pebbles; here, you learn to pan for Bohemian garnets, their deep red glints like small promises in the riverbed.
