Zbysov: Jihomoravský kraj, Česko
The rolling ground of the Bobrava Highlands defines the setting of Zbýšov — wooded slopes and residential streets extend across undulating terrain southwest of Brno. This small South Moravian town developed alongside the coalfield beneath it, an industry that remains central to its local identity. The Museum of Industrial Railways occupies the former Jindřich II mine and preserves equipment linked to Czech industrial heritage. Gardens, low-rise homes, fields and woodland shape the town’s outer districts, reflecting the rural character of the wider Brno area. Zbýšov retains the scale of a working local community rather than a suburb of the regional capital.

Among the towns of the South Moravian Region, Zbýšov stands out for the coal-mining legacy of the Rosice–Oslavany coalfield. The town occupies gently rolling country north of the Oslava River, in a part of Moravia whose industrial past contrasts with the vineyards commonly associated with the region. Mining developed here from the late 18th century and continued into the 20th, shaping local work and identity. Zbýšov’s Mining Museum preserves equipment and records from that era, while former mining sites still mark the town’s character.

South Moravian Region has acted as a cultural crossroads within the Czech lands since the Middle Ages. Brno, Czechia’s second-largest city, is its urban centre, with Špilberk Castle recalling its long strategic role. The region extends across the warm lowlands of the Morava and Dyje rivers, where vineyards shape the countryside around Mikulov and Znojmo. To the north, the Moravian Karst is known for its limestone caves and the Macocha Abyss. The Lednice–Valtice Cultural Landscape, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, combines formal estates, follies and parkland near the Austrian border.

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.
