Czech Heirlooms?

Since it's now May and I haven't put a single tomato in the ground yet it seems like the logical time to think about what to grow in 2023. :D I've started a wish list of varieties based on the alluring photos and descriptions in Amy Goldman's "The Heirloom Tomato" as well as the ones Slow Food International has inducted into the Ark of Taste. That produced a rather short list so I struck on the idea of finding some good Czech heirlooms since my personal genome is primarily of Czech origin. Looking around I've gathered a small list (posted below), many without stories of origin or even good descriptions. I like having those. I was hoping the many, much more knowledgeable and experienced growers here could point me to resources or even specific Czech OP varieties. Recommendations for varieties you've grown are more than welcome.
Thank you!

I'm growing Bibi this year, which is a Czech cherry variety.

Let me know what you think of it. I’m feeling open to growing more than one kind of cherry next year.
