Characteristics of the region
The region is one of the least densely populated and boasts some of the cleanest environment in the country; hence its nickname – ?the green heart? of the Czech Republic. It is a region full of rugged beauty, exuding a romanticism all its own. Its atmosphere has inspired many artists, painters, sculptors, composers and writers.
This region is ideal for active relaxation and recreation. The Renaissance town of Telč (pictured here; click for larger view), the town if Třebíč with its well-preserved Jewish quarter and old town and the pilgrimage Church of St. John of Nepomuk at Zelená Hora near Žďár nad Sázavou belong among most popular sights in the region.
