Novy Jicin: starý jičín petř
Tucked between the Jičínka valley and the rolling Beskydy foothills, Nový Jičín is a town whose character is shaped by its compact historic core and surrounding agricultural hills. Masaryk Square forms the civic centre, lined with arcaded burgher houses and overlooked by the parish church. The old town has held the status of an urban monument reservation since 1967, protecting a street pattern that reflects its long role as a regional market centre. Hat-making is equally central to local identity: the Hückel family built an important business here, and the town remains associated with the TONAK hat company. Beyond the centre, homes, fields and wooded ridges create a clear transition to the Moravian-Silesian countryside.

The Jičínka River defines the setting of Nový Jičín — it passes through a compact town beneath the Beskydy foothills, with farmland extending beyond its streets. Masaryk Square forms the historic centre, where arcaded burgher houses and the Old Town Hall give the protected core its formal character. Nový Jičín is closely associated with hat making, a local tradition documented by the Museum of Nový Jičín in Žerotín Castle.

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.
