Understand
The people of Moravia are some of the most hospitable and friendly people of Central Europe. Moravia is home to gorgeous vineyards, orchards, and fields full of what North Americans would call "organic" produce.
Even though it is not the most industrialized part of Europe, Moravia has factories such as Zbrojovka Brno (weapons) and the famous Zlin Bata factory (shoes).
The dialects spoken in Moravia are very different from the Prague Czech. A foreigner trying to master the language will often find himself at loss. But experts say it is the clearest Czech spoken in the country.
Moravia features scenic mountains and cute little villages. Even if you visit larger towns (e.g., Brno), you will still feel the small town coziness.

The Macocha Caves, north of Brno, are definitely worth a visit. You can take a guided tour into the caves, which will take you through a myriad of winding tunnels, with close up views of stalactites and stalagmites. The tour ends with a boat ride on an underground river.
