Stitary: Vodní nádrž Vranov
Tucked into the wooded Dyje valley, Vranov Reservoir is a place whose character is shaped by the river’s dammed course. Created by the Vranov Dam, completed in 1934, the lake became one of South Moravia’s leading recreation areas, with wooded coves, shore paths and holiday facilities. Štítary stands on its northern shore, close to areas used for swimming and water-based leisure. Rather than forming a broad open lake, the reservoir follows bends in a deeply cut valley, creating a succession of inlets and wooded headlands near the Czech-Austrian border. Near the dam, the Baroque Vranov nad Dyjí Castle rises above the river valley, recalling the area’s long settlement history.

Vranov Reservoir defines the setting of Štítary — woodland, fields and holiday cottages around its long arms give this part of south-west Moravia a notably recreational character. The village lies in the Znojmo District, close to the Czech-Austrian border and within the wider landscape of Podyjí. Its Church of Saint George is a local landmark, while the reservoir on the Dyje River draws swimmers, boaters and walkers in warmer months. Štítary suits travellers looking beyond the historic streets of Znojmo towards quieter rural Moravia.

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.
