Mountains White Carpathian Mountains

The White Carpathian Mountains are located on the border with Slovakia between Trenčín and Uherský Brod. The mountain range was formed in the Mesozoic and Tertiary by marine wrinkling. Due to the proximity of the border with Slovakia, the White Carpathians, especially in the north-eastern part, are a rare place to see the lynx or brown bear.

Orchid meadows and pastures are a typical feature of the White Carpathians. They often include meadow wetlands. The mountains belong to the Morava and Slovak Váh river basins. The rivers Olšava, Chvojnica, Myjava, Velička and Okluky, which flow into the Morava River, originate here.

The White Carpathians are bordered in the south-west by the Horňásko and Dolňácko regions. Even nowadays, the White Carpathians still have traditions of folk costumes and songs.

For more detailed information about the White Carpathians, I recommend watching the new Czech TV series Krajinou domova - Orchidejové hory (great drone footage).
