Ticha: Radhošť
Few places in the Moravian-Silesian Region have a history as closely tied to the Cyril and Methodius tradition as Radhošť. This 1,129-metre mountain is among the best-known summits of the Moravian-Silesian Beskids, a range running along the Czech–Slovak border. Its rounded ridge is a long-established destination for walkers, approached by marked paths from surrounding settlements. On the summit stands the Chapel of Saints Cyril and Methodius, built in 1898, while the nearby statue of the pagan god Radegast recalls the mountain’s place in regional folklore. From Tichá, Radhošť forms part of the broad mountain horizon above the foothills. Its name is inseparable from the cultural identity of Wallachia, the ethnographic region of eastern Moravia.

Among the settlements of the Moravian-Silesian Region, Tichá stands out for its rural setting in the Tichávka valley beneath the Beskydy Mountains. The municipality lies south of Kopřivnice, where open fields, scattered farmhouses and wooded slopes mark the transition from the broader Moravian landscape to the mountain country around Radhošť. St Nicholas’ Church forms a focal point in the village centre, while local roads connect Tichá with Frenštát pod Radhoštěm and neighbouring foothill communities. It is a place to encounter the everyday character of northeastern Moravia away from the region’s larger towns.

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.
