Skrdlovice: Kaple sv. Cyrila a Metoděje Škrdlovice
In Vysočina, few communities have a past as closely connected with glassmaking as Škrdlovice. The settlement lies amid rolling fields and wooded margins on the edge of the Žďárské vrchy, near the Velké Dářko pond. The Chapel of Saints Cyril and Methodius is a local landmark, yet the village is best known for the Škrdlovice glassworks. Founded by the Beránek family in 1940, the workshop helped build the international standing of post-war Czech studio glass through hand-formed vessels and sculptural objects. Detached houses, gardens and farmland give the settlement a quiet rural character, while nearby Žďár nad Sázavou provides the area’s larger urban centre.

Velké Dářko pond and the wooded Žďárské vrchy define the setting of Škrdlovice — water, heathland and conifer forest give this Vysočina settlement a distinctly upland character. The village lies in a region shaped by fishponds and long-established forestry, with quiet roads and paths linking scattered communities across the highlands. Škrdlovice is also associated with Czech studio glass: its former glassworks helped build a recognised post-war tradition of art glass, represented in collections well beyond the region.

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.
