Olesnice

The landscape around Olešnice is a wooded upland of the Hornosvratecká vrchovina, which has shaped both the town’s compact form and its local economy. The Hodonínka River runs through this northern corner of South Moravia, near the historic boundary between Moravia and Bohemia. Olešnice is closely associated with modrotisk, a resist-dyed indigo textile tradition added to UNESCO’s Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity in 2018. The Danzinger workshop keeps the craft alive with hand-carved printing blocks and traditional methods. The Church of St Lawrence anchors the historic centre.
