 Northern
Moravia (Severní Morava)
East and north-east of Prague. What this region
has to offer is the peaceful Jeseníky Mountains,
still relatively
untouched
by tourism. You
can ski in winter, hike in summer, and spend relaxing
time
in the numerous pensions and mountain chalets that are
scattered around. You can also visit the city of Olomouc, which has the most valuable historical
sights besides Prague. With a bit of luck you
can hear the biggest organ in Central Europe play in
St.
Maurice
Church. The St. Wenceslas Cathedral and the old university
area are definitely worth seeing, too.
