The Vysočina Region lies in the very middle of the Czech Republic. It is formed by the Bohemian-Moravian Highlands, which are famous for their beautiful and well preserved countryside. There are two protected landscape areas, Ždárské vrchy a Železné hory. In addition to the countryside, tourists can visit many cultural monuments, castles, chateaus or religious sites. Three of them have been included in the UNESCO list of cultural monuments: the historical centre of the town of Telč, the Pilgrimage Church of St John of Nepomuck at Zelená Hora in Ždár nad Sázavou and the Basilica of St Procope and Jewish Town in Třebíč. Many tourists also visit the museum of unique Czech and world records in Pelhřimov.
