Vír
Vír (German: Wühr) is situated at an altitude of 384 m on the river Svratka (Schwarza).
The place was first mentioned in the first half of the 12th century.
During the 1880s, Vír became a centre of tourism in the upland region between Moravia and Bohemia.
The waters of the river Svratka were tamed by a dam built in the 1950s.
