Kroměříž is a beautiful, historic city and its Archbishop's Castle with the Podzámecká and Květná zahrad were registered as UNESCO monuments. Originally a market settlement, which arose at the intersection of Jantarová and Solná cesty by the Morava River, it was bought by the bishops of Olomouc at the beginning of the 12th century.

Few cities in our country can boast of two castles like Valašské Meziříčí. There is the Žerotín castle and the Kinsky castle. The Žerotín Castle, which is older, stands behind the historic square in Valašské Meziříčí, on a hill above the Rožnovská Bečvá river.

There are many places in the Czech Republic that evoke nostalgic memories of the time when I used to wander around them with my friends. In camouflage, with a backpack, a celt and some change in his pocket. South Bohemia, the Jindřichohradeck region and the so-called Czech Canada are one of these areas. And even though today we no longer wander on foot, but drive by car, we still cannot forgive ourselves for sleeping in nature.

The natural monument Hromnické jezírko is located 500 meters north-east from the village of Hromnice and on the left bank of the Býkovský stream at an altitude of 360 meters above sea level and in the district of the village of Hromnice. The area of ​​Lake Hromnické is 12,20 ha. Hromnické lake is an ideal destination for hikers, cyclists and families with children.

The Vsetín Castle stands on Horní náměstí. Originally a Renaissance castle from the beginning of the 17th century, it was rebuilt several times and in the first half of the 19th century it acquired its current classicist form. Vsetín castle is a storeyed, four-winged building with hexagonal corner towers.

The dominant feature of the city is Šternber Castle. The castle, on a long promontory at the foot of Nízké Jeseník, was founded in the middle of the 13th century by a member of an old Bohemian noble family, Zdeslav from Chlumec and from Šternberk. Šternberk Castle guarded the trade route to Poland.

The Losinské manor was acquired in 1496 by the Žerotín family and they owned it until the beginning of the 19th century. In the eighties of the 16th century, Jan of Žerotín began the reconstruction of the original fortress into a large Renaissance castle. The three wings of the two-story castle building form a U shape and have beautiful arcades with Tuscan columns.

The town of Štramberk and the castle of the same name, in the picturesque landscape of the Štramberk Highlands, were founded in 1359 by the Moravian margrave Jan Jindřich, brother of Emperor Charles IV.

Frýdek Castle was founded in the 14th century by the princes of Těšín on the right bank of the Ostravice River on a promontory above the river. This castle was a border fortress that was supposed to protect the trade route leading from the Moravian Gate to Poland.

At the end of the 16th century, the castle was rebuilt into a Renaissance castle, and it was later structurally modified, first in the Baroque style, and later in the pseudo-Renaissance and pseudo-Baroque styles.
