'''Karvina''' [http://www.karvina.org] is in Silesia.

Understand

Describing Karvina as a spa town is really a little misleading. although there is a spa in the nearby Darkov, Karvina looks very different from your typical image of a clean, tranquil spa town. In fact, it is one of the centres of the (now declining) coal mining industry. There is a pretty townsquare, a little chateau and an animal park you can visit. The rest is all communist-built shopping centres and not so attractive hypermarkets that have sprung up in the 90s.

You can get in by bus from nearby towns like Ostrava, ?esky T??in, Havi?ov or Orlova. (at least once an hour).
