 Southern
Moravia (Jižní Morava)
South-east of Prague. Some of the small towns and villages still look the way
they did in the past. You can admire old houses neatly painted
with bright colors and see people wear traditional
costumes during folk festivals. Some places not to miss are the Kroměříž and Lednice chateaus with their beautiful
gardens, the picturesque town square in Telč, and one of Moravia's
main natural tourist attractions, the Moravský kras (Moravian Karst),
a limestone karst region with caves. If you are a wine lover,
visit
a wine cellar and taste some of the wines that are produced
in Southern Moravia, the country's wine growing region.
