Stramberk
Among the places of the Moravian-Silesian Region, Štramberk stands out for its compact historic townscape beneath the Trúba tower. The town occupies wooded hills at the foot of the Beskydy Mountains in northeastern Czechia, close to the limestone formations of the Štramberk Karst. Above the centre stand the remains of Štramberk Castle, whose cylindrical Trúba tower is the town’s defining landmark. The square retains a small-scale civic character, with traditional houses, a fountain and streets climbing toward the castle hill. Štramberk is also closely associated with Štramberk Ears, a locally made spiced gingerbread pastry with protected geographical indication status. Medieval architecture, karst country and a living food tradition give the town a distinct place in Moravia.

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.
