Micro region Buchlov
It consists of 12 villages with land registers in the area of the mountain range of Chřiby in Moravian Slovakia. There are more than 7,000 inhabitants and the area is approximately 125 km2. By creating the micro region, the villages develop their conditions to increase the attractiveness of an area rich in history and nature and the offer of a wide range of touristic possibilities. If you look at the map, you will be absorbed by the continuous green forests, especially beech ones. There are structured downs with lonely rocks from early Tertiary sandstone. Chřiby is a natural park with numerous protected plants and species and abundant cultural monuments.
