Moravia (/mɔːˈreɪviə, -ˈrɑː-, moʊ-/ maw-RAY-vee-ə, -RAH-, moh-; Czech: Morava; German: Mähren (help·info); Polish: Morawy; Latin: Moravia) is a historical country in the Czech Republic (forming its eastern part) and one of the historical Czech lands, together with Bohemia and Czech Silesia. The medieval and early modern Margraviate of Moravia was a crown land of the Lands of the Bohemian Crown (from 1348 to 1918), an imperial state of the Holy Roman Empire (1004 to 1806), later a crown land of the Austrian Empire (1804 to 1867) and briefly also one of 17 former crown lands of the Cisleithanian part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire from 1867 to 1918. During the early 20th century, Moravia was one of the five lands of Czechoslovakia from 1918 to 1928; it was then merged with Czech Silesia, and eventually dissolved by abolition of the land system in 1949.

The Origin of Open Gardens At the beginning the idea was to create a modern and environmentally friendly yet functional space that would serve as a good example as to how others - businesses, schools, government agencies and the general public, could follow. This idea came into being in the fall of 2012. Built in the heart of the second largest city in the Czech Republic, the Open Gardens has been functioning as a textbook of environmentally friendly architecture, sustainable agriculture and modern environmental protection. Climate change poses a fundamental threat to people in the Amazon rainforest, India, sub-Saharan Africa or in Europe. Unprecedented floods, droughts and unpredictable weather changes threaten the lives of millions of people around the globe. The Open Gardens is a living example of suitable adaptation measures to climate change which can be adopted in a highly urbanized areas. Open Gardens = Education and Fun! Open Gardens consists of two parts: a unique environmental education facility, and an office development which provides a home to several Czech NGOs. Open Gardens hosts countless events and activities - seminars, lectures, workshops, family events and educational programs tailored for students. As well, visitors can enjoy guided tours of the passive buildings or rent a place for a private family party. The emphasis of the whole garden design is put on adventure exploration of ecological coherences and the laws of nature focusing mainly to alternative energy sources and physical phenomena, energy savings, utilization of renewable sources of energy and the use of vegetation elements in their natural way.

February allows you to admire the spring flowers, flora inside the greenhouses and also the artefacts scattered inside the Botanical garden. Visitors of any age will find both beauty and relax, I love to take my camera, my mother brings a book to read. Have fun and try to guess how old is this botanical garden - the very first audio guide inside the greenhouse will tell you about the beginnings of this garden history.

This is a beautiful castle owned by the royal family of Luxembourg. It is sorrounded by a large and beautiful garden and also a green house. Its very well kept and a nice place to relax and soak in the beauty of nature. One can spend 1-2 hrs just walking around enjoying beautiful estate. Just outside the estate, there are a few restaurants serving local food. I enjoyed "Fried Cheese" with Salad and white local wine. It was one of the most amazing dishes I enjoyed anywhere.
