Horácko is a cultural and ethnographic region in the southeast Bohemia and southwest Moravia and middle part of present-day Czech Republic.

Geography

The area forms the eastern part of the administrative region of Vysočina and small parts of South Moravian and South Bohemian regions. Horácko is divided into several subregions, with the main parts being Northern Highlands, Jihlava Highlands, Southern Highlands and Low Highlands (Czech: Podhorácko).

Its most important centre is the city of Jihlava which is located on the Bohemian-Moravian border. Other important centres include Velké Meziříčí, Žďár nad Sázavou, Třebíč, Telč, Dačice, Slavonice, Moravské Budějovice and Moravský Krumlov.

The northern and western parts of the region form rolling, densely forested, hilly country with traditional wooden rural architecture. Some timbered cottages are now used as weekend-houses. In keeping with the character of the landscape and the available local raw materials, industry is concentrated on woodwork, iron ore and stone processing, and manufacture of glass and textiles.

Agriculture

In the Southern Highlands agriculture has been focused on cattle breeding and fish farming. Farming prevails across the entire territory, especially in the fertile areas in the southern part of Low Highlands. In difficult mountainous areas, only resistant strains of corn, fodder plants and especially flax and potatoes can be grown.
