Telc
Few places in Vysočina have a history as closely tied to Renaissance rebuilding after a sixteenth-century fire as Telč. After the fire of 1530, Zacharias of Hradec led a transformation that gave the town its enduring Renaissance character. Zacharias of Hradec Square is lined with burgher houses whose varied Renaissance and Baroque façades conceal a continuous run of arcades. The early-18th-century Marian Column stands at its centre, while Telč Château anchors one end of the square. The historic core occupies a narrow strip between the Štěpnický and Ulický ponds. UNESCO inscribed Telč’s historic centre on the World Heritage List in 1992.

The landscape around Telč is a gently rolling upland of woodland, farmland and fishponds, which has shaped both settlement patterns and the local economy. The historic centre lies between a chain of ponds and is centred on a long triangular market square lined with arcaded Renaissance and Baroque houses. Telč Chateau developed from a Gothic castle and was extensively rebuilt in the Renaissance style under Zacharias of Hradec. The town’s historic core has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1992.

The terrain of Kraj Vysočina ranges from rolling uplands in its central and northern districts to river-cut valleys in the south, giving the region a distinctly rural character. Set across the Bohemian-Moravian Highlands, it lies on the historic meeting ground of Bohemia and Moravia. The Sázava and Jihlava are among its principal rivers, threading through woods, fields and small settlements. Its cultural map has remarkable depth: Třebíč’s Jewish Quarter and Basilica of St Procopius form a UNESCO World Heritage property, while the historic centre of Telč is listed separately. Jihlava, the regional capital, provides an urban counterpoint to the surrounding highland countryside. Explore nearby webcam locations that provide complementary perspectives on Kraj Vysočina.

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.
