Benesov: Benesov u Boskovic: Radar Skalky
Benešov combines small-scale rural life with broad, forested uplands in a way that reflects its position on the Drahanská vrchovina. This municipality lies in the northern part of South Moravia, where wooded ridges alternate with clearings, fields and dispersed farmsteads. The Drahanská vrchovina is one of Czechia’s extensive highland areas, giving the settlement a markedly inland character rather than the vineyard scenery often associated with the region. Benešov’s parish church of St John the Baptist forms a local architectural focal point. The surrounding woods and rolling terrain represent a quieter, more elevated side of South Moravia.

Benešov straddles the rolling ridges of the Drahany Highlands in the northern South Moravian Region, a position that has given it the character of a small upland community rather than a Moravian city. Fields, woodland and scattered farms surround the centre, while the wider highlands mark a transition between the Haná lowlands and the Moravian interior. The village’s historic windmill recalls the rural traditions shaped by this open, elevated terrain. Benešov also makes a quiet base for exploring the Boskovice area and walking in the Drahany Highlands. Discover other points of interest through webcams located across the South Moravian Region.

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.
