Kopřivnice

Kopřivnice is known as a centre of industry. Until the industrialisation in the 19th century, Kopřivnice was just a village. Präsident, the first series-produced automobile in Austria-Hungary, was designed and manufactured in Kopřivnice, and the automotive industry is still important to the town today. Tatra Trucks, one of the oldest motor vehicle manufacturers in the world, is based here.

The town is home to five museums, including the Tatra Truck Museum, the Tatra Passenger Car Museum and the Fojtství Museum. Fojtství is the town's oldest building and the birthplace of Ignaz Schustala, the founder of the original car factory. Among notable natives are long-distance runner Emil Zátopek and painter and paleoartist Zdeněk Burian.
