Two adventurers set out on Zikmund and Hanzelka commemorative tour

The Czech Republic’s famous travellers Miroslav Zikmund and Jiří
Hanzelka
lived a life that many dream of. They visited 83 countries with their
famous Tatra 87, made over 150 documentary films and wrote over 20 books
about their adventures. They brought a glimpse of the world to people
living in communist Czechoslovakia and served as cultural ambassadors not
only for their country but for its Tatra cars –until the communist regime
clamped down on them. Now two young adventurers from Plzeň want to follow
in their footsteps as a tribute to their achievements and in celebration of
Miroslav Zikmund’s upcoming 100th birthday next year.
