Waypoint introductions and full write-ups
1. Jihlava
Jihlava sits at the heart of the Bohemian-Moravian Highlands, the Vysočina, a plateau of ponds, rye fields and gentle forested hills that rolls on for miles with no big drama but a lot of quiet beauty. The town is small by European standards, about fifty thousand people, but its history is surprisingly rich. In the thirteenth century silver was found in the surrounding hills, and miners and merchants poured in, many of them German speakers. The silver made Jihlava one of the richest towns in the Czech lands, and under the old streets a labyrinth of cellars and tunnels, partly open to visitors, preserves that medieval wealth.
