===Žitava===
[[Zittau]] ({{langx|cs|Žitava}}) and [[Ostritz]] ({{langx|cs|link=no|Ostřice}}) in modern south-eastern [[Saxony]] were initially a part of Bohemia in the [[Middle Ages]]<ref name=gmm>{{cite journal|last=Metzig|first=Gregor M.|year=2010|title=Sigismund I. und der Oberlausitzer Sechsstädtebund in den Hussitenkriegen (1419–1437)|journal=Zeitschrift für Ostmitteleuropa-Forschung|volume=59|issue=1|page=5|issn=0948-8294}}</ref> (and briefly [[Lower Silesia]] in 1319–1346).<ref name=hk>{{cite book|last=Knothe|first=Hermann|title=Geschichte des Oberlausitzer Adels und seiner Güter|year=1879|language=de|publisher=Breitkopf & Härtel|location=Leipzig|pages=546–547, 643}}</ref> Žitava was a Bohemian royal city, granted city rights by King [[Ottokar II of Bohemia]] in 1255.<ref name=hk/> In 1346, it co-formed the [[Lusatian League]] along with five most dominant [[Upper Lusatia]]n cities, which were also under Bohemian rule, and had closer economic interests with those cities since.<ref name=gmm/><ref name=hk/> Žitava was not formally annexed from Bohemia to Upper Lusatia, however, it shared the history of Upper Lusatia since,<ref name=hk/> and was annexed from the Kingdom of Bohemia by the [[Electorate of Saxony]] in 1635. The coat of arms of Zittau is a remnant of the city's ties to both Bohemia and Lower Silesia, as it contains the [[Bohemian lion]] and the Lower Silesian [[Piast Eagle]].

In 1945, some 4000 Czechs were registered in Zittau, and formed a Czech National Committee.<ref name=hra>{{cite web|url=https://www.hradek.eu/page4.aspx?zaz=533-374|title=20. století|website=Hrádek nad Nisou|access-date=5 November 2023|language=cs}}</ref> The Czechs made an attempt to reintegrate the city with Bohemia, and thus Czechoslovakia, but the efforts were decisively rejected in 1948.<ref name=hra/>

===Kladsko===
{{main|County of Kladsko}}
The area around [[Kłodzko]] ({{langx|cs|Kladsko}}; {{langx|la|Glacio}}) in south-western [[Poland]] was culturally and traditionally a part of Bohemia but was also a part of [[Lower Silesia]] under rule of the Polish [[Piast dynasty]] in 1278–1290 and 1327–1341. [[Kłodzko Land]] has been again a part of [[Lower Silesia]] since its conquest by the [[Kingdom of Prussia]] in 1763. Referred to as "Little Prague", the [[Kłodzko Valley]] region on the [[Nysa Kłodzka]] River was the focus of several attempts to reincorporate the area into [[Czechoslovakia]], one of several [[Polish–Czechoslovak border conflicts]].

The last attempt occurred in May 1945, when Czechoslovakia tried to annex the area. The Czechs argued that because of the small [[Czechs|Czech]] minority present in the western part of the [[Kłodzko Valley]], which was called the region's "[[Czech Corner]]", the area should go over to Czechoslovakia instead of being assigned to Poland, as no relevant Polish minority lived in the area. Pressure brought on by the [[Soviet Union]] led to a ceasing of military operations, with the Czech minority being expelled to Germany and Czechoslovakia. According to [[canon law]] of the [[Roman Catholic Church]], the area remained part of the [[Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Prague]] until 1972.

Capitalizing on interest regarding the Kladsko area in the Czech national psyche, a special tourist area in the [[Náchod District]] has been designated as the Kladsko Borderland Tourist Area<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.kladskepomezi.cz/en/page.php?sid=1|title=Story Landscape – Kladsko Borderland, Glatz Borderlan|first=inCUBE|last=interactive|website=www.kladskepomezi.cz|access-date=16 September 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120403133250/http://www.kladskepomezi.cz/en/page.php?sid=1|archive-date=3 April 2012|url-status=dead}}</ref> (tourism district; {{langx|cs|turistická oblast Kladské pomezí}}). The area, entirely within the [[Czech Republic]], was formerly known as the [[Alois Jirásek|Jirásek]]'s Region ({{langx|cs|Jiráskův kraj}}), [[Adršpach rocks]] ({{langx|cs|italic=yes|Adršpašské skály}}).
