Jablunkov: Kostel Božího Těla
The Church of Corpus Christi is best known in Czech Silesia as Jablunkov’s parish church. Its pale, towered silhouette anchors the compact centre of Jablunkov, a town in the Olza valley close to the Polish and Slovak borders. Jablunkov belongs to the historic region of Cieszyn Silesia, where Czech, Polish and regional Silesian influences meet. The wooded Silesian Beskids rise nearby, giving the town a distinctly foothill setting. Local identity is expressed especially through Gorolski Święto, Jablunkov’s annual folk festival, which celebrates the traditions of the area’s Gorol community. Streets around the church combine civic buildings, shops and traditional town-house fronts.

Jablunkov lies along the Olza River in the far east of Czechia, where the forested slopes of the Silesian Beskids meet a borderland shaped by routes to Poland and Slovakia. The town stands near the Jablunkov Pass, a long-used Carpathian passage whose name is also associated with the railway tunnels crossing the area. Jablunkov is an important centre of the region’s Polish minority and Goral traditions. Each summer, the Gorolski Święto festival brings folk music, dance and regional dress to town, reflecting the enduring cultural ties of Czech Silesia.

Moravian-Silesian Region combines an industrial legacy with mountain terrain in a way that reflects its position between the historic lands of Moravia and Silesia on Czechia’s northeastern frontier. Ostrava, its largest city, developed around coal mining and ironmaking; the former Vítkovice ironworks, now the Dolní Vítkovice cultural complex, remain a defining reminder of that era. Beyond the urban basin, the Beskydy range rises in the southeast, while the Oder has its source in the Oderské vrchy. Opava adds another thread of Silesian identity through its historic centre and cultural life. Browse additional webcams from the surrounding area to extend your view of the Moravian-Silesian Region.

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.
