Cesky Tesin
The Olza River defines the setting of Český Těšín — its course forms the Czech–Polish frontier and gives this compact town a distinctly cross-border character. Until the division of Cieszyn Silesia in 1920, Český Těšín and today’s Polish Cieszyn formed one town; they remain connected by bridges over the Olza and a shared Silesian identity. Rail transport has long been central to the Czech side, and Český Těšín station is an important junction on routes through Silesia. Late-19th- and early-20th-century civic buildings, broad streets and railway land reflect the town’s growth as a transport and administrative centre. Across the river, Cieszyn’s historic core rises around Castle Hill.

Český Těšín has served as a Czech border town in the historic region of Cieszyn Silesia since 1920. The Olza River forms the frontier with Poland, separating it from Cieszyn while linking the two towns through bridges and a shared regional identity. The division followed the post-First World War settlement of the former Duchy of Cieszyn, whose multicultural traditions remain part of local life. Těšín Theatre, home to both Czech and Polish-language ensembles, reflects the area’s close cross-border ties.

Moravian-Silesian Region combines an industrial legacy with mountain terrain in a way that reflects its position between the historic lands of Moravia and Silesia on Czechia’s northeastern frontier. Ostrava, its largest city, developed around coal mining and ironmaking; the former Vítkovice ironworks, now the Dolní Vítkovice cultural complex, remain a defining reminder of that era. Beyond the urban basin, the Beskydy range rises in the southeast, while the Oder has its source in the Oderské vrchy. Opava adds another thread of Silesian identity through its historic centre and cultural life. Browse additional webcams from the surrounding area to extend your view of the Moravian-Silesian Region.

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.
