Jihlava, Regional capital in Vysočina Region, Czech Republic

Jihlava extends along the banks of the Jihlava River at 523 meters elevation, marking the historical border between Moravia and Bohemia regions.

The settlement transformed from a small Slavic market village into the first mining town of the Czech Republic after silver deposits were discovered in 1234.

The International Documentary Film Festival occurs annually since 1997, transforming Jihlava into a central location for documentary film presentations and discussions.

The city connects to major destinations through the D1 motorway and maintains regular rail services to Brno, Třebíč, and Tábor with local trolleybus networks.

Medieval mining regulations established in Jihlava, known as Ius Regale Montanorum, influenced mining laws throughout Central European territories.
