Czech Highlands Photo Gallery

The area of the Czech Republic in which our accommodation is situated is known as Vysocina. The name Vysocina [Czech Highlands] is derived from the name Ceskomoravska Vrchovina [Bohemian-Moravian Highlands], a hilly, undulating countryside situated between the two historical lands of the Czech Republic; Bohemia and Moravia.

Vysocina reaches over 800 meters in altitude, lying between the two distinct mountain ranges of Zdarske Vrchy in the North of the region and Jihlavske Vrchy in the South-West.

The Czech Highlands region is situated in the very heart of the Czech Republic. The original virgin forests here were transformed by human activity into an undulating cultivated steppe, with low hills and valleys, a wealth of woodland and groves and many picturesque lakes. A mass of cultivated forest covers most of the highest areas of the region.

Vysocina boasts a pristine environment. The region may be regarded as an island of health wedged between the three urban centres of Prague, Brno, and Vienna. This is why, among other reasons, the Vysocina Region was the first to become a member of the Association of Healthy Towns and Regions and acquired the official title "The Healthy Region".

Natural conditions have scattered the population of Vysocina over seven hundred towns and villages, interconnected by a rich web of roads. Small villages near their local centres, which are usually small quiet towns with a population of three to ten thousand, are typical of Vysocina.

The Czech Highlands are renowned throughout Europe for their scenic beauty and tranquility. It is an ideal place for family holidays. The Highlands Region can offer the visitor the very best in outdoor holidays. It makes an ideal base for hikers, cyclists, families with children, people who are looking for holidays in nature and those who simply want to experience the culture of the area.

For the visitor who wants to travel further afield, our holiday accommodation also serves as an ideal base from where to strike out on adventures throughout the Czech Republic and beyond to enjoy an outdoor holiday in Europe.

We are, after all, only three hours drive from four other European nations.
