Extreme points of Moravia

This is a list of the extreme points of Moravia. As there is no current official definition of the borders of Moravia, this list is based on the borders of the historical Moravian land (země Moravská) that existed as an autonomous part of Czechoslovakia until 1928, before having been merged into Moravian-Silesian land (země Moravskoslezská).^[1]
