Frýdek-Místek District

The easternmost district of the Czech Republic spans 1,208 square kilometers with mountains, rivers, and forests between Poland and Slovakia borders.

The district emerged from the merger of two historical territories, Frýdek and Místek, which developed separately until their administrative unification in 1943.

The region maintains strong industrial traditions through the Třinec Iron and Steel Works while preserving cultural elements in the Frýdek Castle museum complex.

The district connects to major cities through the D48 motorway to Poland and D56 to Ostrava, with regular public transportation between 72 municipalities.

The district contains Lysá hora, the highest peak of the Moravian-Silesian Beskids at 1,324 meters, offering views across three national borders.
