Location

The Bohemian-Moravian Highlands are an extensive and long range of hills and low mountains over 150 km long, which runs in a northeasterly direction across the central part of the Czech Republic from Bohemia to Moravia. This range roughly coincides with modern Vysočina Region.

Characteristics

The highlands form a big region of rolling hills and low mountains with heights between about 500 and 800 metres, whose lowlands are relatively densely settled. Its gentle hills are dotted with small farmsteads and also occasionally with holiday apartments and houses. The softly, rounded summits offer panoramic views of the surrounding countryside, valleys and castles to hikers and holidaymakers, as well as a variety of sporting facilities.
