Pist

Píšť is recognised across Czech Silesia for its position beside the Polish border, in the Hlučín area north of Opava. It lies in low, open agricultural country rather than the mountain terrain associated with other parts of Moravia and Silesia; the Opava River crosses the district to the south before joining the Oder. The village belongs to a borderland whose modern identity was shaped when the Hlučín region passed from Prussia to Czechoslovakia in 1920 under the Treaty of Versailles. This history helps explain the area’s Czech, Polish and German cultural connections. Explore nearby webcam locations that provide complementary perspectives on Píšť and Czech Silesia.
