This Google-map shows the itinerary of Josef Švejk from Prague to the front in Galicia.
The list of geographical names is sorted in ascending chronological order. The text describing
the places Švejk visited, appears when clicking the place marks, the side bar or the "Show details" button.
The map shows the names as they were written in 1914 in the official language of the respective
locations. This often conflicts with the names Hašek used in the novel. The various translations of Švejk may again
use names which differ both from Hašeks names and official names. This is particularly the case with
the German translation.

I would like to thank Šerák in particluar, without his direct help and goodwill this project would never have been successful.
