The Moravian-Silesian Region called by the locals “region razovity” (the peculiar region) is tucked in the eastern-most part of the Czech Republic, along the border of Poland and Slovakia. You will experience the region’s industrial past as well as the lively present, mountains and picturesque historical towns. It’s the region where I was born and grew up so you can expect maximum authenticity and local insights! 🙂

• Experience the work of miners directly underground in the Landek Park Mining Museum
• Enjoy the view from the “Hradčany of Ostrava” – the blast furnaces of Lower Vitkovice Iron Works
