Olesnice: Olesnice na Morave: Ski Olešnice - Výstup vlek A

The landscape around Olešnice is a wooded upland of the Hornosvratecká vrchovina, which has shaped both the town’s compact form and its local economy. The Hodonínka River runs through this northern corner of South Moravia, near the historic boundary between Moravia and Bohemia. Olešnice is closely associated with modrotisk, a resist-dyed indigo textile tradition added to UNESCO’s Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity in 2018. The Danzinger workshop keeps the craft alive with hand-carved printing blocks and traditional methods. The Church of St Lawrence anchors the historic centre.

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. Continue with other webcams from the area to see how this part of South Moravia connects regionally.

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.
