There Are 36 Countries Within 1,000km From Just Outside Prague.
So says this post entitled: There Are 36 Countries Within 1,000km From Just Outside Prague.
It’s a bit disappointing that they don’t explain exactly where just outside Prague, but by a little mouse work, I think we’re slightly to the north of the city. Maybe somewhere like Ceska Lipa or Jablonné v Podješt?dí – just south of the intersection of the Polish, Czech and German borders.
Interestingly, they don’t actually include Czechia in those 36, so I’ve been doing some rudimentary calculations, and I make that 37.
I was wondering if you could add any more in there, but it’s a well constructed circle. Include Estonia, you’ll lose Albania and North Macedonia. And the UK and Norway are only hanging on by a pixel or two, so you can’t head any further south or east.
The post asks if there’s anywhere else in the world where you could get more countries inside a circle measuring 3 and a bit million square kilometres, but of course, there isn’t, because Europe is small (and Africa is far away).
