Nové Město na Moravě (Czech pronunciation: [ˈnovɛː ˈmɲɛsto ˈna moravjɛ]; German: Neustadtl; literally a diminutive of "New Town") is a town in the Vysočina Region in the central Czech Republic. It has about 10,500 inhabitants. The town is a prominent Czech winter sports resort and it hosted the 2013 Biathlon World Championships.
The town is a hub of many local roads, crossed by a first class road No. 19, and also by local railways No. 251 Tisnov - Žďár nad Sázavou. It is accessible from the D1 motorway, lying 30 km away from its nearest exit 141.
Despite its distant mountainous location, the town has a long tradition of manufacturing. Among the significant sectors is the production of ski equipment by Sporten, of medical instruments by Medin, and of wireless communication modems by Racom.
Near the urban part Studnice, there is at 49°36′31.40″N 16°05′2.500″E / 49.6087222°N 16.08402778°E a testing facility of EGU Brno, which has three towers. The central tower of this facility, which is equipped with a lot of antennas looks very funny and is nicknamed Gyro Gearloose Tower after the famous fictional inventor Gyro Gearloose, who has a similar structure in his garden.
