Nove Dvory: Kamýk
The Vltava valley defines the setting of Kamýk, where Prague’s southern residential districts extend across ground rising east of the river. Part of Prague 12, Kamýk is shaped by a large late-20th-century apartment estate, alongside older low-rise streets and tree-lined open areas. This is a settled urban quarter rather than a historic sightseeing district, with housing and everyday life forming its character. The Vltava remains Prague’s geographic spine, linking the southern districts to the historic centre. That centre, formed around the river’s crossings and medieval core, has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1992. Kamýk provides a contrast to the dense monuments and visitor quarters closer to central Prague.

The terrain of Kraj Vysočina ranges from rolling uplands in its central and northern districts to river-cut valleys in the south, giving the region a distinctly rural character. Set across the Bohemian-Moravian Highlands, it lies on the historic meeting ground of Bohemia and Moravia. The Sázava and Jihlava are among its principal rivers, threading through woods, fields and small settlements. Its cultural map has remarkable depth: Třebíč’s Jewish Quarter and Basilica of St Procopius form a UNESCO World Heritage property, while the historic centre of Telč is listed separately. Jihlava, the regional capital, provides an urban counterpoint to the surrounding highland countryside. Explore nearby webcam locations that provide complementary perspectives on Kraj Vysočina.

The terrain of Czechia ranges from fertile lowlands in southern Moravia to mountain ridges along the northern frontier, giving this Central European country a distinctly varied geography. The Vltava runs through Prague before joining the Elbe, while the Krkonoše form part of the border with Poland and include Sněžka, Czechia’s highest mountain. Prague’s historic centre, with Prague Castle and Charles Bridge, reflects the city’s long role as a political and cultural centre. Beyond the capital, Bohemia is known for spa towns and brewing, and Moravia for wine-growing traditions.
