Uhersky Brod

Uherský Brod is best known in the Zlín Region for its association with Jan Amos Komenský, the Czech educator and thinker internationally known as Comenius. The town lies on the Olšava River in southeastern Moravia, close to the Slovak border and within a landscape of low hills and farmland. The Museum of Jan Amos Komenský preserves the memory of the reform-minded scholar, whose ideas on education reached far beyond the Czech lands. Uherský Brod also developed as an important Moravian border town, a role reflected in its historic centre and fortification heritage.

Centred on the industrial city of Zlín and the valleys of eastern Moravia, Zlínský kraj developed into a distinct region of Czechia. Zlín is closely associated with the Bata shoe company, whose factory-led expansion gave the city its notable Functionalist architecture. To the east, the White Carpathians follow the Slovak border, while the Morava River crosses lowlands near Uherské Hradiště. Velehrad, one of the country’s important pilgrimage places, adds another dimension to the area’s Moravian identity.

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.
