Mountains Bohemian-Moravian Highlands
The Bohemian-Moravian Highlands are located mainly in the Vysočina Region. However, it also extends into the South Bohemia and South Moravia regions. There are no main mountain ranges. It is divided into several separate units, see the division of the Bohemian-Moravian Highlands. The highest mountain, Javořice (837 m above sea level), belongs to the Jihlava Hills subdivision.
The Bohemian-Moravian Upland is the second oldest mountain range in the Czech Republic (after Šumava). It was formed by the so-called Variscan folding in the Proto-Mountains. The area of Žďárské Vrchy, especially Dráteníčky, is often used by sport and hobby climbers.
One part of the Bohemian-Moravian Highlands, the Žďárské vrchy, is the subject of a new Czech TV series called The Land of Home - The Double Heart of the Highlands - I definitely recommend watching it.
