The Moravian-Silesian Region is one of the greenest regions of the Czech Republic, especially thanks to the extensive Beskydy, Jeseníky and Poodří mountains, boasting the picturesque meanders of the Odra River. In addition to forests, hills, and mountains, the region is full of historical, cultural or technical attractions. From time immemorial, it has been associated with the industrial sector, whose heritage and living links are attractively promoted and presented by Technotrasa, a virtual trail connecting technical and craft monuments across the territory of the entire Moravian-Silesian region.
“This year, Technotrasa offers eye-catching news, as three dozen existing partners have grown by five new ones. For the first time, visitors can see the medieval silver mine in Horní Město, a unique place where silver and iron ore were mined from the 15th to the end of the 19th century. The adrenaline tour will take them to two accessible floors connected by several corridors and ladders,” said Jan Krkoška, Governor of the Moravian-Silesian Region. Another unique item in the Technotras is the Futureum, a national cultural monument into which a former tipper and coal mill in the Dolní Vítkovice complex has been transformed.
