4 Introduction The Vysočina Region stretches across the central part of the Czech Republic, and its picturesque landscape is especially sought after by those who love well-preserved nature. The entire territory of the Region is filled by the Bohemian- Moravian Highlands, the most extensive orographic range in the Czech Republic, a landscape divided by gentle hills, river valleys, and a number of forests and woods. Since time immemorial, the landscape has included man-made lakes, the oldest of which were established as early as in the 13th century. A number of water reservoirs have been built, some of which serve as fresh water reservoirs while others are sought-after recreational areas. The river network is dense and richly branched out, and a number of rivers have their sources here. For its natural and cultural value, significant parts of Vysočina enjoy the status of protected territories. Protection is granted to areas boasting original vegetation, precious kinds of plants and animals, peat bogs, and rock formations. The valley of the River Doubrava, with its rock towers and waterfalls, offers unexpected experiences; the River Sázava, popular among water sportsmen, flows over gigantic granite boulders and forms numerous rapids. Unique is the Mohelno Serpentite Step, whose geological bedrock serpentite creates conditions that are favourable for the occurrence of rare kinds of plants. Popular trip destinations are the highest points of the Vysočina Region - Javořice (837 m) and Devět skal (836 m). Active Relaxation Due to its well-preserved landscape, Vysočina s environment is among the healthiest in the country. Its extensive dense forests are alluring for walks as well as mushroom picking, and charming natural spots offer excellent conditions for active relaxation and a number of sports. A dense network of 2,700 km of marked hiking trails weaves through the landscape, providing inimitable experiences to those who love the quiet of nature. Also, 800 km of marked bike trails allow for getting to know the most valuable natural places. Those who are more fit can choose from more demanding terrain, and families with children will be pleased by gentler slopes with distant views. The picturesque countryside can also be admired from the back of a horse or on board a sight-seeing plane. Climbing enthusiasts can take advantage of selected sections of the tallest points of the Žďárské vrchy range. A large number of lakes provides a place to cool off on hot summer days, as well as a place to warm up with winter skating. The largest lakes are a paradise for surfers and yachters, and water reservoirs are perfect for water sports and fishing. Towns and cities boast playgrounds, tennis courts, squash halls, covered pools, as well as modern outdoor swimming facilities. 4

5 A Land of Winter Joy Vysočina is charming not only in summer, illuminated by warm rays of sunshine and modelled by all imaginable shades of green, but also in winter, when icy windstorms can cover everything around in sparkling white banks of snow. Winter sport enthusiasts will surely welcome Vysočina s perfect conditions for cross-country skiing. The most significant winter resorts are in the northern part of the Region, which transforms into a large ski paradise in the winter, with tens of kilometres of cross-country tracks for race as well as recreational skiers. Downhill skiing enthusiasts will find something for themselves in the region, with some thirty slopes of various levels of difficulty, with lifts and artificial lighting, supplemented with artificial snow. The Heritage of the Past Man has been associated with this region continuously for centuries. In the deep forests along both sides of the former border between the Bohemian and Moravian lands, he built roads and castles to protect them, drained soil, and founded towns. Previous centuries have left numerous architectural monuments throughout the region proud Gothic castles, dreamy Renaissance chateaus, gorgeous Baroque monasteries. You will encounter history at your every step: it is relayed by museum exhibitions as well as artistic collections in galleries. The castle of Lipnice nad Sázavou protrudes from a romantic landscape, offering aside from a distant view of the surrounding countryside summer performances of musicians, theatre performers, and fencing ensembles. The originally defensive Roštejn Castle, rebuilt into a Renaissance hunting retreat, offers mysterious night-time viewings and visitors can peer into the middle ages during a historical feast. Period atmosphere can also be enjoyed during the summer festival at an adapted ruin of Orlík Castle near Humpolec, or in the courtyard of the Ledeč nad Sázavou Castle. Visitors of the Renaissance chateau in Náměšť nad Oslavou can admire a precious collection of tapestries as well as the historical figures who bring the chateau to life each summer. The Baroque chateau in Jaroměřice nad Rokytnou, surrounded with a large park, boasts a rich musical tradition. Precious wall frescoes and furnishings can be admired by visitors during a viewing of the Premonstratensian monasteries in Želiv and Nová Říše. The roots of the towns and cities of the region, which have in their history lived through periods of rapid flourishing as well as destructive wars, extend far into the past. In the middle ages, Jihlava was one of the richest towns in the Kingdom of Bohemian due to silver mining. It protected its riches by monumental walls, most of which have survived to the present. A multi-storey labyrinth of underground corridors can be found under the expansive town square. The town of Pelhřimov obtained its present Baroque appearance following a destructive fire in the 18th century. Surviving from the middle ages are the fortifications with two gates, and the chateau houses museum collections. Havlíčkův Brod was founded on the River Sázava, on an important trade route. The centre of the town s historical part comprises a Baroque square surrounded with gabled houses, with a fountain in the centre. 5

6 Seeing UNESCO Sites The region s three most significant sets of historical monuments are part of the world cultural heritage afforded protection by UNESCO: The historical centre of Telč, whose square is lined with burghers houses with Renaissance gables and arcaded walkways, together with the Renaissance chateau, comprises an architectural unit of unique value. The Pilgrimage Church of St. John of Nepomuck in Zelená hora in Žďár nad Sázavou, as a master composition with the symbolism of St. John s five-point star a masterpiece of the Czech architect of Italian origin, J. B. Santini, in the early 18th century Baroque-Gothic style. The Romanesque-Gothic St. Procopius Basilica in Třebíč, whose monumental portal and extensive three-nave crypt make it one of the most precious structures of its kind in Central Europe; and the uniquely preserved buildings in the Jewish quarter, with two synagogues and an extensive Jewish cemetery, recall the existence of the local Jewish community. Specially for Children A draw for kids is the country and western town Šiklův mlýn (Šikl s Mill), as if taken right out of a Wild-West film. You can visit the saloon, the gambling saloon, or the sheriff s office; in summer, you can run into buffalo, Indians, or fur hunters, see examples of gold panning, or courageous horsebackriding acts. Nearly in the centre of Jihlava lies a zoological garden, where children can use an unusual children s corner and a petting ZOO, featuring a twelve-meter toboggan. The South-American pavilion boasts a tropical forest and the sounds of the jungle, and the African village of Matongo features original native huts. Pelhřimov is the host town of the annual International Festival of Records and Curiosities, during which record holders from all corners of the world try to have their achievements recorded in the Guinness Book of Records. The local museum houses over one hundred exhibits that have come out of the festival. Vysočina is a lively and friendly region. Its colourful mood has stolen the heart of many an artist, who paid homage to it in their works. Its voice has inspired generations of folk musicians as well as giants of world music. The Vysočina Region has its inimitable charm, which captivates everyone and due to which you will surely want to return to us. Welcome. 6
