Moravia (April 2007)

Moravia is a region in the eastern part of the Czech Republic. Since the 12th century it has shared its history with Bohemia - together making up the Czech lands. Moravia's current capital is Brno, an unassuming city where I spent 3 nights in order to visit some WHS in this area. Cities like Olomouc and Trebic have frequent connections by train from Brno. With a car there are even several more sites within reach.

Highlight of my stay was the small but quirky Pilgrimage Church of St. John of Nepomuk.

Eastern Europe (1) (May 2003)

The first part of what hopefully will be a summer tour around worldheritages in Eastern Europe took me to the Czech Republic. Yes, I went to Prague, but I'd like to highlight the town of Kutna Hora where I stayed for 4 days.
