Forested Dyje River valley on the Czech–Austrian border in South Moravia

A 40-kilometre stretch of the Dyje River runs through a thickly forested valley up to 220 metres deep, with near-natural woods described as unique in Central Europe. It adjoins Austria's Thayatal National Park, and together they form the Inter-National park.
