Myjava is a beautiful upland district with rolling hills, colourful fields and many dispersed small settlements (called kopanice), which are still named after the families of their inhabitants. Czech landscape artist Jiři Mandel aptly rendered the feel of the region that tries hard to retain its folklore and traditional way of life.
