Moravia (Czech: Morava; German: Mähren ; Polish: Morawy; Latin: Moravia) is a historical country in the Czech Republic and one of the historical Czech lands, together with Bohemia and Czech Silesia. It was also one of the 17 former crown lands of the Cisleithanian part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire from 1867 to 1918 and one of the five lands of Czechoslovakia from 1918 to 1928. It has an area of over 20,000 km2 and about 3 million inhabitants.
It takes its name from the Morava river, which rises in the northern tip of the region and flows southward to the opposite end, being its major stream. Moravia's largest city and historical capital is Brno; before the Thirty Years' War, Olomouc was another capital.
Though officially abolished by an administrative reform in 1949, Moravia is still commonly acknowledged as a specific land in the Czech Republic. Moravian people are considerably aware of their Moravian identity and there is some rivalry between them and the Czechs from Bohemia. However, by nationality (or ethnicity), most of the Moravian Slavs recognize themselves as Czechs, not Moravians.
The South Moravian Region (Czech: Jihomoravský kraj; Slovak: Juhomoravský kraj) is an administrative unit (kraj) of the Czech Republic, located in the south-western part of its historical region of Moravia (an exception is Jobova Lhota which belongs to Bohemia). Its capital is Brno, the 2nd largest city in the Czech Republic. The region has 1,169,000 inhabitants (as of 30 June 2013) and the total area of 7,196.5 km². It is bordered by the South Bohemian Region (west), Vysočina Region (north-west), Pardubice Region (north), Olomouc Region (north east), Zlín Region (east), Slovakia (south east) and Austria (south).
The South Moravian Region is divided into seven districts (Czech: okres): Blansko District, Brno-City District, Brno-Country District, Břeclav District, Hodonín District, Vyškov District and Znojmo District. There are in total 673 municipalities in the district of which 49 have the status of towns. There are 21 municipalities with extended powers and 34 municipalities with a delegated municipal office.

The region is laced with wine cycling trails that tie into neighbouring Austria. Explore a region of monuments and wine, pass through the orchards and vineyards of South Moravia, and enjoy the hospitality of the locals and taste the fruits of their labour.

Take a tour of Mikulov Castle in Czech Republic -- part of the World's Greatest Attractions travel video series by GeoBeats. Mikulov Castle sits in the lush, exotic region of Southern Moravia in the Czech Republic. The Baroque architecture and soothing colors of this classic structure entice visitors to enter and explore. A stone form of this castle existed in the 13th century, but has since been significantly reconstructed. Extensive rebuilding took place after an occupation by German troops in World War II. Today, the castle hosts the Mikulov Regional Museum, with a focus on grapes and wine-making. While Mikulov was once the capital of Moravia, the Mikulov castle is now a hub for viticulture and manicured beauty.
The astronomical clock of Olomouc — destroyed by the Nazis in World War II — was rebuilt under Communism in 1953. In good social realist style, you see earnest chemists and heroic mothers rather than holy saints and Virgin Marys. And this is where you can sample the notorious cheese of Moravia, purportedly the stinkiest in the whole country.
