Olomouc Region

A region in central Moravia, whose capital, Olomouc, has the World Heritage Holy Trinity Column and many Baroque buildings.

The Olomouc Region lies in eastern Czechia, bordering Poland in the north. The capital, Olomouc, is a historic Moravian center; the Holy Trinity Column on the main square is a World Heritage Site, and the astronomical clock, cathedral and many churches and fountains are worth a wander, with fewer tourists than in Prague. In the north, the Jeseníky mountains have spa resorts and hiking trails. The local specialty, Olomouc cheese, has a strong flavor. Spring, summer and autumn suit city sightseeing and mountain climbing. Olomouc lies on the main railway line from Prague to Ostrava, so it is easy to reach by train.
