"Geography: The Czech Republic is a land−locked country, meaning it doesn't have a border with the sea, but is surrounded by other countries (Poland, Germany, Slovakia and Austria). The country is made up of three regions, Bohemia in the west, Moravia to the east and small Silesia in the northeast. The Czech Republic has a landscape of rolling hills, lowlands, and plains bordered by mountains. The highest point is Sněžka (1,602 m). Southern Bohemia is famous for its many man-made ponds. The longest river in the Czech Republic is the Vltava (430 km), which flows into the Elbe (Labe), a major Central European river. Natural beauty spots include national parks in mountains such as Krkonoše, Šumava (with the remains of primeval forests), Czech Paradise (sandstone rock formations in the north) and Moravian Karst (a series of caves and the gorge Macocha). Among the most beautiful historic towns belong Prague, Kutná Hora, Tábor etc. Also many castles, ruins and chateaux can be found in our republic. To the most interesting ones belong the Prague castle, Karlštejn, Křivoklát and Bezděz. On Karlštejn, the crown jewels are kept. We have got 12 sights on the UNESCO list: the Historical Centre of Prague (listed in 1992), The Historical Centre of Český Krumlov (1992), the Historical Centre of Telč (1992), the Pilgrimage Church of Jan Nepomuk in Zelená Hora, close to Žďár nad Sázavou (1994), Kutná Hora (1995), Lednice-Valtice Cultural Landscape (1996), Holašovice (1998), Kroměříž Castle and Gardens (1998), Litomyšl Castle (1999), Holy Trinity Column in Olomouc (2000), Villa Tugendhat, Brno (2001) and Třebíč (2003)."
