Characteristics of the region
The central Moravia is the region of rich folklore festivals. Oderské vrchy (Oderské Hills) and Hostýnské vrchy (Hostýnské Hills) gradually rise in the east, the Chřiby Hills open the Slovácko – Moravian gate in the south and the Drahanská vrchovina (Drahanská Highland) creates the relief in the west. The region offers a large choice of architectural jewels (ancient castles, rich chateaux and, first of all, the UNESCO monuments – the Kroměříž Chateau and its gardens, the town Olomouc), spas, a lot of natural sights, some of them under the ground, such as Javoříčské jeskyně, Mladečské j. and Zbrašovské j. (Javoříčské Caves …) or the deepest abyss in the Czech Republic – Hranická propast (Hranická Abyss). The whole region of the central Moravia is interweaved with marked tourist footpaths and is ideal for cycling. Some of the cyclist routes – Moravská stezka (Moravian route) and Jantarová stezka (Amber route) - are a consisting part of the project Euro-velo.
