Brno, Jun 5 (BD) – The Statistical Yearbook of the Jihomoravský Region is a key publication of the Regional Office of the Czech Statistical Office in Brno. It offers an overview of economic activity and other statistical categories from available existing data.

So what are the ‘bests of’ the South Moravian Region, according to the report?
With regards to geographical facts, the highest altitude in the region is a mountain called Durda (842 metres above sea level) in the Hodonín District.
Břeclav District is the lowest area in the region, with its municipality of Lanžhot being just 150 metres above sea level. The lowest point is where the Dyje and Morava Rivers meet.
As you might expect,the most populated municipality is Brno (Brno-město District), with a population of 377,973 inhabitants, while the least populated municipality is Lhota u Olešnice, in Blansko District, with only 39 inhabitants.

Now that we have found out more about the people, let’s look at the climate.
Brno’s position in Central Europe means that winters in the Czech Republic can be very cold, while summer temperatures usually do not exceed 35°C.
