Nový Jičín District

Nový Jičín District is an administrative territory in the Moravian-Silesian Region covering varied terrain with lowlands and highlands. The area is divided into 78 municipalities spread across this diverse landscape.

The district was established in 1960 when administrative boundaries were reorganized to unite numerous communities under a single structure. This reorganization shaped the current layout of the territory.

The municipalities here maintain local traditions through regular events that showcase Moravian music, traditional crafts, and regional gastronomy. Visitors can experience these living customs directly in the towns and villages.

The district connects to major cities through the D1 motorway, with five administrative centers providing public services across the territory. The infrastructure makes it relatively easy to reach different parts of the area.

The territory includes the birthplace of psychoanalyst Sigmund Freud in Příbor and the Štramberská Truba, a distinctive cylindrical tower overlooking the landscape. These two sites regularly attract visitors interested in history and architecture.
