JAN CERVINKA / TIEN SHAN

TIEN SHAN

Jan Cervinka lives with his wife Vera Patkova in the mountains of Czech Republic. Like Edmund Hillary, he is a beekeeper, every year supplying family and friends with jars of honey. Around him gathers a community of friends - many of whom date back to his days when he was an active climber and a leader of the local climbing club, which he founded in the small town of Vrchlabi, where he moved with his family in the wake of the 1968 Soviet invasion of Czechoslovakia.
