Olomouc, Czech Republic | The Heart of Moravia
Olomouc is just one of the many beautiful small towns throughout the Czech Republic and for anyone visiting Moravia it's somewhere I would definitely recommend checking out.
Despite its beauty and well-preserved old town Olomouc is still a hidden gem and even during the peak of the summer tourist season there weren't too many people wandering around.
The town is actual the historical capital of Moravia and is the 6th largest city in the Czech Republic, although it feels like much more of small town.
Throughout the old town are a wide variety of brightly painted medieval buildings and some of the popular sights include the astronomical clock, the two different squares, the Plague column, and the Saint Wenceslas Cathedral.

Jihlava: Where Gustav Mahler Went to School
Jihlava is the capital of the Highlands' region (Kraj Vysočina) in the southwest of Moravia and formed a German language island in a Czech-speaking environment for a long time during the Austro-Hungarian Imperial and Royal monarchy. Gustav Mahler was born in 1860 in Kalischt, shortly before his parents moved to Jihlava. It is the city of the childhood and youth of this probably greatest late-Romantic composer who during his lifetime enjoyed especially high esteem as a conductor. Today, the Gustav Mahler Museum is situated in the house that was formerly the tavern of his father. Mahler went to school here, but after the death of his parents in 1889 he never returned to Jihlava. By the way, some of the documents at the museum testify that he was a rather bad student. His passion was music!
In addition to the Mahler Museum there are a lot of beautiful old houses around the market square, some of them dated from the 16th century, in this oldest Moravian mining town. There are also magnificent building from the Founder Epoch (architectural historicism) spread over the whole town. Another highlight is the church of St. James (Kostel svatého Yakuba Staršího), consecrated in 1257. From the tower one has a wonderful view of the town and the gently undulating landscape of the Bohemian-Moravian mountain range.
Iglau, wo Gustav Mahler zur Schule gegangen ist
Jihlava, auf Deutsch Iglau, ist die Hauptstadt der Hochland-Region (Kraj Vysočina) im Südwesten Mährens und bildete während der k.u.k.-Monarchie lange Zeit eine deutsche Sprachinsel in einem tschechischsprachigen Umfeld. Gustav Mahler wurde 1860 in Kalischt geboren, kurz bevor seine Eltern nach Jihlava zogen. Es ist also die Stadt der Kindheit und Jugend dieses vermutlich größten Komponisten der Spätromantik, der zu seinen Lebzeiten vor allem als Dirigent höchstes Ansehen genoss. Heute erinnert das Gustav-Mahler-Museum im Haus, in dem sich vormals die Schankwirtschaft seines Vaters befand, an den Musiker, der hier zur Schule ging, aber nach dem Tod der Eltern 1889 nie mehr in die Stadt zurückkehrte. Er soll übrigens ein schlechter Schüler gewesen sein, was einige im Museum gezeigte Dokumente beweisen. Sein ganzes Streben galt der Musik!
Neben dem Mahler-Museum gibt es in dieser ältesten mährischen Bergbau-Stadt sehr schöne alte Häuser rund um den Marktplatz zu sehen, die teilweise noch aus dem 16. Jahrhundert datieren. Über das Stadtgebiet verteilt finden sich auch prächtige Gebäude aus der Gründerzeit. Ein weiteres Highlight ist die Jakobuskirche (kostel svatého Jakuba Staršího), geweiht im Jahr 1257, deren Turm man besteigen kann. Von dort hat man einen wunderbaren Blick auf die Stadt und die leicht gewellte Landschaft des böhmisch-mährischen Höhenzugs.
Jihlava donde Gustav Mahler iba a la escuela
Jihlava es la capital de la región de Tierras Altas (Kraj Vysočina) en el suroeste de Moravia y formó una isla de lengua alemana en un ambiente de habla checa durante mucho tiempo en la monarquía Imperial y Royal Austro-Húngara. Gustav Mahler nació en 1860 en Kalischt, poco antes de que sus padres se trasladaron a Jihlava. Es la ciudad de la infancia y la juventud de este probablemente mayor compositor romántico tardío que en vida disfrutó especialmente alta estima como director de orquesta. Hoy en día, el Museo Gustav Mahler está situado en la casa que antes era la taberna de su padre. Mahler iba a la escuela aquí, pero después de la muerte de sus padres en 1889, nunca volvió a Jihlava. Por cierto, algunos de los documentos en el museo dan testimonio de que era un estudiante bastante malo. ¡Su pasión era la música!
Además del Museo de Mahler hay en esta ciudad minera más antigua de Moravia una gran cantidad de casas antiguas hermosísimas alrededor de la plaza del mercado, algunas de ellas datan del siglo XVI. Hay también edificios magníficos de la época de los fundadores (historicismo arquitectónico), repartidas por toda la ciudad. Otro lugar de interés que destaca es la iglesia de Santiago (Kostel svatého Yakuba Staršího), consagrada en 1257. Desde la torre se tiene una vista maravillosa de la ciudad y el paisaje suavemente ondulado de la cordillera de Bohemia-Moravia.
