Bohemian-Moravian Uplands
The Bohemian and Moravian Uplands are mainly famous for their unspoiled and untouched nature. You may still walk through the forests for hours without meeting a single living soul. A part of the region was declared the Protected Landscape Area of Žďárské vrchy (Žďárské Hills - 500 metres above sea level) whic has ideal conditions for practising all kinds of sports, above all hiking and biking. The Bohemian and Moravian Uplands are called the land of artists. It is related to names of a number of painters - Chitussi, Slavíček, Kremlička. Significant sculptors Jan Štursa and Vincenc Makovský come from the town of Nové Město na Moravě.
