Chapter I · South Moravian Region · 50 places
South Moravian Region
Macocha Abyss is the deepest open doline in Central Europe, plunging 138 metres through the limestone plateau of the Moravian Karst. Two viewing platforms at the rim look straight down to twin turquoise lakes at the bottom, where the Punkva River resurfaces after its underground course. Early morning light creates shifting shadows across the mossy walls, making the abyss a compelling photographic subject.

South Bohemian Region
Perched on a promontory above a tight meander of the Vltava River, Český Krumlov Castle is the second-largest castle complex in Bohemia. Its cylindrical tower, painted in trompe-l'œil Renaissance detail, anchors a skyline that photographers frame from the castle garden terrace at dusk. The baroque theater inside preserves original stage machinery from the 18th century.
