Dacice
Dačice has served as an estate town in the Moravian borderlands since the Middle Ages. The Moravian Thaya runs through its compact historic centre, where the Renaissance Dačice Chateau reflects the town’s long connection with noble estates. Dačice is internationally associated with the first sugar cube, made here in 1843 at the local sugar refinery by director Jakub Kryštof Rad. Although now part of Czechia’s South Bohemian Region, the town retains a distinctly Moravian character, with tiled roofs, churches and civic buildings set amid the gently rolling borderland countryside.

Few towns in the South Bohemian Region have a history as closely tied to the sugar cube as Dačice. In 1843, Jakub Kryštof Rad, director of the local sugar refinery, produced the first sugar cubes here; a monument beside the church recalls the invention. The Moravian Thaya flows through the town, whose centre includes a Renaissance château later remodelled in Baroque style. Dačice also sits in a borderland shaped by the meeting of Bohemian, Moravian and Austrian influences.

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.
