Krnov
Krnov is best known within Czechia for its historic town hall, the dominant building on Hlavní náměstí. The town lies at the meeting of the Opava and Opavice rivers, beneath the low wooded hills of the Nízký Jeseník foothills near the Polish border. Its centre retains a compact grid of façades around the square, reflecting Krnov’s long role as a regional market and craft town in Czech Silesia. The ornate town-hall tower and civic architecture form a counterpart to the nearby Church of St Martin. Krnov is also associated with Cvilín hill above the town, a long-established pilgrimage place crowned by the Church of Our Lady of the Seven Sorrows. River corridors, Silesian urban heritage and surrounding uplands give the town a distinctive borderland character.

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.
