The Slezsk� and Moravsk� Beskydy (Silesian and Moravian Beskydy) and Javorn�ky mountains form the border with Poland and Slovakia. Here there are long valleys with great numbers of cottages and tourist centres. In the region Vala�sko (Walachia), however, the landscape changes, becoming the Vset�nsk� vrchy (Vset�n Hills), Host�nsk� vrchy (Host�n Hills) and the lower Vizovick� vrchovina (Vizovice Highland). The highest mountain is Lys� hora (Lys� Mountain) - 1323 m a.s.l. in the Moravian - Silesian Beskydy. Walachia was colonised by the „Walachs“ in the past a distinct ethnic group who brought their own architecture into this area, habits, national costumes, culture and cuisine. In the North, Walachia reaches up to the ridges of the Moravian - Silesian Beskydy above the valley of the river Ro�novsk� Be�va, and also includes cities Fren�t�t pod Radho�t�m and �tramberk. This area is home of the Radegast brewery (voted Beer of the Year 1992,1993,1994) in the Czech republic which was founded at the foot of the Beskydy Mountains in No�ovice. The Radegast brewery has the mythical god „Radegast“ - as its trademark, worshipped by ancient Slavonic tribes as the god of sun, fire, harvest and hospitality, and whose statue can still be found on the Radho�t mountain, one of the Beskydy Mountains. Ro�nov pod Radho�t�m is perhaps the focus of the Walachia region, a former spa town and today a centre for holidaymakers. D�ev�n� m�ste�ko (Wooden Little Town) and Vala�sk� d�dina (Walachian Village) are extraordinary places of interest, with distinct wooden Walachian buildings being found mostly here. Besides the folk architecture, the traveller can also enjoy numerous folk festivals and folk art presentations that are held here in summer.
