It&#8217;s <strong>a land where the ridges of the Beskydy and Jesen\u00edky mountains meet towering blast furnaces<\/strong>, so in a single day you can breathe the cleanest mountain air and then, that same afternoon, admire the raw beauty of industrial Ostrava. Trust me, you won&#8217;t find such a unique combination anywhere else in the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Whether you&#8217;re looking for peace and quiet in deep forests, love old castles, or want to show your kids giant mining wheels and technical marvels, this corner of the country has something for everyone. On top of that, <strong>the locals here wear their hearts on their sleeves<\/strong> and know how to make you feel welcome in a way you&#8217;ll remember for a long time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I&#8217;ve put together <strong>a comprehensive overview with fifteen tips<\/strong> on what to see and do here. It covers everything from the majestic Prad\u011bd to Ostrava&#8217;s Doln\u00ed V\u00edtkovice, and of course my favourite spots in the Wallachia region aren&#8217;t missing either. Make yourself a good coffee and let&#8217;s take a look together at the best of Northern Moravia and Silesia. \u263a\ufe0f<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;6a77cba939576&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-key=\"6a77cba939576\" class=\"wp-block-image size-full wp-lightbox-container\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--pointerdown=\"actions.preloadImage\" data-wp-on--pointerenter=\"actions.preloadImageWithDelay\" data-wp-on--pointerleave=\"actions.cancelPreload\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" src=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/vyhledy-z-beskyd.jpg\" alt=\"View across the Beskydy ridges from a wooden lookout\" class=\"wp-image-60042\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/vyhledy-z-beskyd.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/vyhledy-z-beskyd-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/vyhledy-z-beskyd-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/vyhledy-z-beskyd-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><button\n\t\t\tclass=\"lightbox-trigger\"\n\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\taria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-bind--aria-label=\"state.thisImage.triggerButtonAriaLabel\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--right=\"state.thisImage.buttonRight\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--top=\"state.thisImage.buttonTop\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_85 ez-toc-wrap-left counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-grey ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<div class=\"ez-toc-title-container\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title\" style=\"cursor:inherit\">Table of Contents<\/p>\n<span class=\"ez-toc-title-toggle\"><a href=\"#\" class=\"ez-toc-pull-right ez-toc-btn ez-toc-btn-xs ez-toc-btn-default ez-toc-toggle\" aria-label=\"Toggle Table of Content\"><span class=\"ez-toc-js-icon-con\"><span class=\"\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseProfile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 ' ><ul class='ez-toc-list-level-3' ><li class='ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/en\/northern-moravia-things-to-do\/#TLDR\" >TL;DR<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/en\/northern-moravia-things-to-do\/#When_to_visit_Northern_Moravia\" >When to visit Northern Moravia<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-3\" href=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/en\/northern-moravia-things-to-do\/#Where_to_stay_in_Northern_Moravia\" >Where to stay in Northern Moravia<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-4\" href=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/en\/northern-moravia-things-to-do\/#Northern_Moravia_15_most_beautiful_places\" >Northern Moravia: 15 most beautiful places<\/a><ul class='ez-toc-list-level-3' ><li class='ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-5\" href=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/en\/northern-moravia-things-to-do\/#1_Jeseniky_and_Praded\" >1.

class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Northern Moravia and Silesia have something to offer in every season, but it all depends on exactly what you expect from your holiday. Winter in the Jesen\u00edky or Beskydy is <strong>ideal for lovers of downhill and cross-country skiing<\/strong>, because snow conditions here tend to be among the best in the country. Spring, on the other hand, favours wandering the awakening towns and industrial landmarks, when you can avoid the summer heatwaves and enjoy emptier streets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Summer on the mountain ridges is absolutely magical, but bear in mind you won&#8217;t be alone at the most famous spots. If you head out in July or August, I recommend you <strong>use the early morning hours for mountain hikes<\/strong> to escape the biggest crowds and the afternoon storms. Autumn in the Jesen\u00edky then turns wonderful golden shades and is probably the most romantic time to visit the spa towns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There is one absolutely crucial thing to keep an eye on if you&#8217;re planning a summer visit to Ostrava. From 13 to 19 July 2026, <strong>Doln\u00ed V\u00edtkovice is completely closed to the public<\/strong> because of the huge Colours of Ostrava music festival. That means during this period you won&#8217;t get into the blast furnaces or the Science and Technology Centre, so plan your family trip for a different summer week instead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A long weekend definitely won&#8217;t be enough to see the whole region. To enjoy the mountains, towns and museums at a relaxed pace, <strong>set aside at least seven days for your holiday<\/strong>. Even then you&#8217;ll have to choose carefully \u2014 there are enough interesting spots here for several weeks, and leaving without any regret that you missed something is practically impossible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Where_to_stay_in_Northern_Moravia\"><\/span>Where to stay in Northern Moravia<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Choosing the right base is key to exploring such a vast region. If you want to sample a bit of everything, <strong>the best strategy is to split your stay<\/strong> into a few nights in the mountains and a few nights in the city. Across the region you&#8217;ll find amazing mountain lodges with a view, luxury wellness hotels and interesting town accommodation with a touch of history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Beskydy and Wallachia:<\/strong> If you like comfort and a well-earned rest after your hikes, <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.stay22.com\/allez\/roam?aid=lukaskonecny&#038;campaign=loudavymkrokemcz&#038;campaign=kam-na-dovolenou-na-severni-morave&#038;hotelname=Spa%20hotel%20Lanterna&#038;address=Velk%C3%A9%20Karlovice\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow sponsored\">Spa hotel Lanterna<\/a><\/strong> in Velk\u00e9 Karlovice is exactly that: a beautiful pool, luxurious wellness, and families return again and again \u2014 and that&#8217;s no coincidence.

At a respectable 1,491 metres, it is <strong>the highest mountain in Moravia and Silesia<\/strong> and, at the same time, the fourth-highest peak in the whole country. On its summit stands the iconic television transmitter with a viewing platform, which is, by the way, the highest-situated structure in the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Since the summit lies in the first zone of a protected landscape area, ordinary cars are, for understandable reasons, not allowed up here. If you don&#8217;t fancy walking the whole way from the valley, <strong>use the seasonal Ekobus<\/strong>, which runs from the Hv\u011bzda car park up to Ov\u010d\u00e1rna. From there it&#8217;s still a very pleasant, gentle stroll to the summit itself along a wide asphalt road, which even families with smaller children can manage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The views from Prad\u011bd over the surrounding valleys are absolutely phenomenal in clear weather. Do bear in mind, though, that <strong>the weather here can change incredibly quickly<\/strong>, so even in the height of summer always pack a waterproof jacket and sturdy footwear in your rucksack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\ud83d\udca1 <strong>Tip:<\/strong> From Ov\u010d\u00e1rna a beautiful ridge trail leads over Petrovy kameny all the way to Jelen\u00ed stud\u00e1nka, which is much quieter than the climb to Prad\u011bd itself. I recommend walking it if you long for a deeper connection with nature away from the crowds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Dlouhe_strane\"><\/span>2.

The Dlouh\u00e9 str\u00e1n\u011b pumped-storage hydroelectric plant boasts a huge artificially built reservoir that <strong>sits right on a levelled-off mountain top<\/strong> at over 1,350 metres above sea level. It&#8217;s the largest facility of its kind in Central Europe, with the biggest reversible water turbine on the entire continent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Getting here, however, requires quite <strong>careful planning<\/strong>. It&#8217;s important to know that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dlouhe-strane.cz\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">tours are booked exclusively online<\/a> through their official form \u2014 no one will secure you a spot by phone or email. All visitors then meet down at the base <strong>at SkiAre\u00e1l Kouty<\/strong>, right at the bus stop in front of Bar Ly\u017e\u00e1rna by the prominent orange sign.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can choose from two tour options. The first loop takes about two hours and includes the power plant itself and a ride up to the lower reservoir. Loop number two takes roughly three hours, takes you all the way up to the upper reservoir, and <strong>runs only from May to November<\/strong>. Always double-check the entrance fee in advance on the power plant&#8217;s website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\ud83d\udca1 <strong>Tip:<\/strong> A heads-up for all families: <strong>the tour isn&#8217;t suitable for children under seven<\/strong>.

The main draw is a beautiful set of <strong>wooden buildings by architect Du\u0161an Jurkovi\u010d<\/strong>, which represent the so-called Wallachian Art Nouveau style from the end of the nineteenth century.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You may remember that the Libu\u0161\u00edn lodge tragically burned down in 2014. Today, though, it has thankfully been <strong>completely restored and reopened to the public<\/strong> in all its glory. From Pustevny there&#8217;s a comfortable ridge walk to the monumental statue of the pagan god Radegast, where we of course stood and took photos too. The walk takes about forty-five minutes and continues all the way to the chapel of Saints Cyril and Methodius.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can comfortably ride up to Pustevny by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pustevny.cz\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">cable car from R\u00e1ztoka<\/a>. A return ticket for an adult bought online costs 300 CZK (about \u20ac12), while <strong>at the ticket office you&#8217;ll pay 320 CZK (about \u20ac13)<\/strong>. Children aged five to eleven pay 190 CZK (about \u20ac8) online, and those aged four and under ride free.

At 1,323 metres, it is <strong>the highest and most massive peak of the Moravian-Silesian Beskydy<\/strong>, rightly nicknamed the Beskydy giant. On the very top you&#8217;ll find a meteorological station and a mountain lodge, where after the demanding climb everyone deservedly rewards themselves with good food.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The most popular and <strong>most common climbing routes lead from Ostravice<\/strong> or from the nearby village of Kr\u00e1sn\u00e1. Be prepared for the trail being one relentless climb that will really give you a workout, but that feeling when you finally rise above the treeline and see the beauty is definitely worth it. The views from the summit rank among the most beautiful in all of Moravia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Lys\u00e1 hora<\/strong> is almost a religion among locals, and many come up to train every week. In good weather during high season the summit really is packed, so <strong>opt for an early start<\/strong>, otherwise you&#8217;ll be squeezing along the narrow paths with half the region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\ud83d\udca1 <strong>Tip:<\/strong> Don&#8217;t forget sturdy footwear and plenty of water.

This complex is listed as European Cultural Heritage, and at every step you can feel the raw history of heavy industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The highlight of any visit is Blast Furnace No. 1, opened to the public and topped by <strong>the glass Bolt Tower viewing extension<\/strong>. The tower was named after the famous sprinter Usain Bolt, and the view from it over the whole of industrial Ostrava is truly breathtaking. The blast furnace tour itself, which includes a visit to this unique tower, costs an adult 295 CZK (about \u20ac12), while the reduced fare is 220 CZK (about \u20ac9) and families pay 800 CZK (about \u20ac33).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Architecture lovers will be thrilled by the former giant gas holder, ingeniously <strong>converted into the modern multifunctional Gong hall<\/strong>. A visit to the Gong gallery costs 120 CZK (about \u20ac5) without commentary, but if you have a ticket to the adjacent Science and Technology Centre, you can see Gong completely free.

It was on this very hill that archaeologists once discovered the famous Landek Venus figurine, which gives the place even greater historical weight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The biggest thrill here is <strong>an authentic descent into the mine in a real mining cage<\/strong>, which is part of the so-called grand tour. Former miners guide you through, and an adult pays 295 CZK (about \u20ac12) for this unforgettable experience, the reduced fare is 220 CZK (about \u20ac9), and families pay 800 CZK (about \u20ac33). If you have less time, you can choose the small tour focused just on the engaging topic of mine rescue, which costs 150 CZK (about \u20ac6) for an adult. Children under six, by the way, get in free.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And once you&#8217;re soaking up that genuine Ostrava mining atmosphere, you absolutely have to see the Ema slag heap. This <strong>enormous burning heap of mining waste<\/strong> is still smouldering inside, with the temperature in its core holding around a thousand degrees Celsius. That&#8217;s precisely why snow never lies on it even in the harshest winter, and from its top one of the best views over the whole city opens up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\ud83d\udca1 <strong>Tip:<\/strong> At Landek Park, definitely take a ride on the original mining train that once carried miners to their shift.

As Luk\u00e1\u0161 and I climbed the stone steps between the old timbered houses, we felt as if we&#8217;d landed in a fairy tale. No wonder \u0160tramberk, thanks to its <strong>amazing urban heritage reserve full of wooden houses<\/strong>, is quite often nicknamed the Moravian Bethlehem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Everything is dominated, of course, by the tall cylindrical tower called Tr\u00faba, which is in fact the only larger remnant of the original Strallenberg castle. A spiral staircase lets you climb right to the top, from where there&#8217;s <strong>a fabulous view over all those picturesque rooftops below you<\/strong>. A short walk from the centre you&#8217;ll then find the famous \u0160ipka cave, where archaeologists discovered the jaw of a Neanderthal child, and which you can visit entirely freely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Strolling the narrow streets, you&#8217;ll one hundred percent catch the incredibly tempting scent of gingerbread. That&#8217;s where they bake the famous <strong>\u0160tramberk &#8220;ears&#8221;, which hold an EU protected geographical indication<\/strong>.

Then Ro\u017enov pod Radho\u0161t\u011bm will completely absorb you. The local <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nmvp.cz\/roznov\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Wallachian Open-Air Museum<\/a> was founded back in 1925, which makes it <strong>the oldest open-air museum in all of Central Europe<\/strong>. Luk\u00e1\u0161 and I spent a whole afternoon here and there was still plenty to discover, because the grounds are truly enormous and beautifully maintained.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The museum is divided into three separate parts, each with its own specific atmosphere. The Wooden Town is the oldest and most accessible part, where you&#8217;ll see a beautiful town hall and old merchants&#8217; shops. Here you&#8217;ll also find the Wallachian Slav\u00edn, which is <strong>an honorary burial ground for notable figures of the region<\/strong>, where, for example, the famous Olympic athlete Emil Z\u00e1topek, a native of nearby Kop\u0159ivnice, rests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The next part is the Wallachian Village, which is a bit more hilly and <strong>shows the hard life of ordinary people in remote homesteads<\/strong>. The third area is the Mill Valley, where you&#8217;ll see with your own eyes functioning old forges, mills and sawmills powered by water. Current entrance fees vary depending on how many loops you want to visit, so I recommend checking their official website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\ud83d\udca1 <strong>Tip:<\/strong> If you want to avoid the uphill walking and have less time, focus only on the Wooden Town. It&#8217;s beautifully flat, you can walk through it very comfortably, and you&#8217;ll even find an excellent pub inside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"9_Koprivnice_and_Tatra\"><\/span>9.

Kop\u0159ivnice is inseparably <strong>tied to the famous Tatra brand<\/strong>, whose rich history began right here. For all fans of engineering and motoring, this place is an absolute must you can&#8217;t skip on a visit to the region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A brand-new Tatra Truck Museum has recently opened here, housed in a huge renovated hall. You&#8217;ll find dozens of <strong>beautifully restored trucks, Dakar rally specials and military vehicles<\/strong> that will make your eyes pop. A short walk further into the town centre sits the classic museum, which focuses more on this iconic brand&#8217;s passenger cars and shows its complete evolution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But Kop\u0159ivnice is far from being only about cars \u2014 this is where <strong>Emil Z\u00e1topek was born<\/strong>, and the local museum has a separate exhibition dedicated to him and his wife Dana, which is, honestly, quite moving. Better <strong>check the entrance fees<\/strong> for both institutions on the web before your trip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\ud83d\udca1 <strong>Tip:<\/strong> You can very easily move between both museums on foot. The town isn&#8217;t big and the walk takes just a few minutes, so feel free to leave the car parked in one spot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"10_Hukvaldy\"><\/span>10.

Luk\u00e1\u0161 and I hiked up the hill and the space of the old fortifications really is enormous. You could easily spend an hour just wandering through all the courtyards and ramparts and discovering hidden nooks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The path to the castle leads through a beautiful old deer park, full of ancient trees and where herds of fallow deer roam freely. It&#8217;s in this park that you&#8217;ll find the famous <strong>bronze statue of the Cunning Little Vixen<\/strong>, sitting on a boulder. All the tourists stroke her tail for luck, so it&#8217;s already polished to a lovely golden shine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Hukvaldy is also renowned far and wide as <strong>the birthplace of the world-famous composer Leo\u0161 Jan\u00e1\u010dek<\/strong>. His legacy is felt here at every step, and the grounds regularly host music festivals in his honour, which have unique acoustics. You&#8217;ll always find up-to-date entrance fees for the castle ruin on the castle&#8217;s official website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\ud83d\udca1 <strong>Tip:<\/strong> The chateau deer park is freely accessible and is an absolutely great spot for a long Sunday walk, even if you no longer feel like exploring the castle itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!-- LKM_GYG_CARD start q=\"severni morave\" lang=\"en\" --><!-- LKM_GYG_CARD end -->\n\n\n\n\n<div class=\"lk-stays-module\">\n<style>\n\/* \u2500\u2500\u2500 RESET PRO GUTENBERG \u2500\u2500\u2500 *\/\n.lk-stays-module * { box-sizing: border-box;

This picturesque spa village with its beautiful wooden Empire-style buildings looks like something out of a period film. Legend has it that here <strong>you breathe the absolutely cleanest air in all of Central Europe<\/strong>, which you&#8217;ll feel the moment you take your first deep breath.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The wild B\u00edl\u00e1 Opava river flows right through the village and forms a very wild waterfall above the spa. This is where the famous <strong>trail through the B\u00edl\u00e1 Opava valley<\/strong> begins, leading all the way up to the Ov\u010d\u00e1rna lodge below Prad\u011bd. It&#8217;s one of the most beautiful but also very demanding routes in the entire Jesen\u00edky, full of wooden footbridges, slippery stones and steep ladders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I&#8217;d like to strongly warn all families with small children, because <strong>this trail is absolutely impossible with a pushchair<\/strong>.

The most significant is the local <strong>handmade paper mill dating back to the sixteenth century<\/strong>, one of the oldest still-functioning paper mills in all of Europe. To this day beautiful paper is still hand-crafted here in the traditional way, which you can see with your own eyes during a fascinating tour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At the same time, Losiny is tied to a very dark chapter of Czech history. In the seventeenth century, <strong>brutal witch trials<\/strong> played out here <strong>at the local chateau<\/strong> under the fanatical inquisitor Boblig, which Otakar V\u00e1vra brilliantly captured in the legendary film Witchhammer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After your historical excursions, definitely treat yourself to a well-earned rest. In the village you&#8217;ll find modern <strong>thermal baths that use the local healing sulphur springs<\/strong>. Bathing in warm water with a view of the mountain ridges is an absolutely great way to end the whole day. You&#8217;ll always find the exact entrance fees for both the paper mill and the extensive thermal baths on their websites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\ud83d\udca1 <strong>Tip:<\/strong> If you buy a small sheet of handmade paper with pressed meadow flowers at the mill, you&#8217;ll get an absolutely brilliant and original souvenir from your holiday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"13_Opava_and_Hradec_nad_Moravici\"><\/span>13.

A beautiful green ring of parks winds around the whole historic core, and on the Upper Square rises the Renaissance town hall tower called Hl\u00e1ska. The city&#8217;s landmark, however, is the enormous Co-Cathedral of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary, which is <strong>the largest brick building in all of Silesia<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Few people also know that in Opava you&#8217;ll find the <strong>Silesian Regional Museum, founded back in 1814<\/strong>, making it the absolute oldest museum in the territory of today&#8217;s Czechia. Just a short drive from Opava lies the majestic Hradec nad Moravic\u00ed chateau, made up of the romantic Red Chateau and the classicist White Chateau. Even Beethoven and Liszt took a liking to the chateau and, honestly, given the view, you can&#8217;t blame them at all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A tour of Hradec nad Moravic\u00ed is also very friendly to families&#8217; wallets. An adult pays 260 CZK (about \u20ac11) for the main tour, but <strong>children aged six to seventeen get a ticket for just 80 CZK (about \u20ac3)<\/strong>. If you only want to stroll through the extensive chateau grounds without the interior, it&#8217;ll cost you a symbolic 60 CZK (about \u20ac2.50), and for climbing the White Tower you&#8217;ll pay a round 100 CZK (about \u20ac4).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\ud83d\udca1 <strong>Tip:<\/strong> In Opava, don&#8217;t forget to admire the functionalist Breda department store from the outside. In its day it was the largest department store in the country, and it&#8217;s now gradually being given a well-deserved restoration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"14_Sovinec_and_the_Resov_Waterfalls\"><\/span>14.

Here, on a rocky promontory, rises <strong>the sprawling Sovinec castle ruin<\/strong> with a beautifully preserved system of fortifications. In the summer season it tends to be quite lively here, because the castle courtyards very often host various fencing and falconry festivals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">From the castle it&#8217;s then only a short way to the Huntava river, on which sit <strong>the highest waterfalls in the entire N\u00edzk\u00fd Jesen\u00edk<\/strong>. The Re\u0161ov Waterfalls tumble down a deep rocky gorge, and the whole trail around them is very adventurous. You&#8217;ll climb up narrow wooden footbridges and steep stairs right beside the roaring water, which is a really powerful experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This part of the region is absolutely ideal for those looking for a quieter atmosphere without packed car parks. You&#8217;ll best find the current entrance fee for Sovinec castle on its official website, while <strong>access to the Re\u0161ov Waterfalls is free all year round<\/strong> without any charge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\ud83d\udca1 <strong>Tip:<\/strong> For the waterfalls, I really recommend good trekking shoes.

A family ticket for two adults and three children to the Big World of Technology costs 1,140 CZK (about \u20ac47). If you want to explore the smaller U6 world too, a combined ticket is worth it, coming to <strong>1,730 CZK (about \u20ac71) for a family<\/strong>. The Children&#8217;s World for the youngest, aged two to six, costs 105 CZK (about \u20ac4.50), and children under two get in completely free.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Bear in mind that both places won&#8217;t fit into a single morning. The mine descent at Landek Park takes a good two hours, including changing and the commentary, and the Science and Technology Centre is so vast that kids can easily last a whole afternoon there. It makes more sense to split them over two days, or pick one and leave the other as a reason to return. If you&#8217;re mainly interested in the mine descent, keep in mind the grand tour at Landek Park costs <strong>295 CZK (about \u20ac12) for an adult<\/strong> and 220 CZK (about \u20ac9) for a child, while the shorter tour dedicated to mine rescue costs 150 CZK (about \u20ac6) and 110 CZK (about \u20ac4.50). You&#8217;ll find details on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.landekpark.cz\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Landek Park website<\/a> and that of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dolnivitkovice.cz\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Doln\u00ed V\u00edtkovice<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Ostrava_Zoo_and_the_Safari_Express\"><\/span>Ostrava Zoo and the Safari Express<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;6a77cba940a4e&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-key=\"6a77cba940a4e\" class=\"wp-block-image size-full wp-lightbox-container\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1600\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--pointerdown=\"actions.preloadImage\" data-wp-on--pointerenter=\"actions.preloadImageWithDelay\" data-wp-on--pointerleave=\"actions.cancelPreload\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" src=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/ova-zoo.jpg\" alt=\"Wooden trail through the forest park in Ostrava zoo\" class=\"wp-image-239361\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/ova-zoo.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/ova-zoo-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/ova-zoo-700x933.jpg 700w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/ova-zoo-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/ova-zoo-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/ova-zoo-696x928.jpg 696w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><button\n\t\t\tclass=\"lightbox-trigger\"\n\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\taria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-bind--aria-label=\"state.thisImage.triggerButtonAriaLabel\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--right=\"state.thisImage.buttonRight\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--top=\"state.thisImage.buttonTop\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Kids simply love this zoo, partly because it&#8217;s cleverly connected to <strong>an extensive botanical park<\/strong> and the animal enclosures here are very natural. A big hit here is <strong>a ride on the Safari Express<\/strong>, which takes you through the sprawling enclosures of animals from Africa, Persia and India.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The summer entrance fee for an adult is 180 CZK (about \u20ac7.50), <strong>children aged three to fifteen pay 120 CZK (about \u20ac5)<\/strong>, and those under three go completely free. If you&#8217;re from the area or come here more often, a family annual pass for 2,150 CZK (about \u20ac88) is definitely worth it. The zoo is open every day of the year, and in summer until eight in the evening, but <strong>note that the ticket offices and pavilions close as early as six<\/strong>, so don&#8217;t arrive too late.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The grounds are really vast and you won&#8217;t walk the whole thing with smaller children, so it&#8217;s worth grabbing a map right at the entrance and picking two or three areas. The paths are mostly paved and <strong>passable with a pushchair<\/strong>, just reckon with quite a <strong>significant elevation change<\/strong> between the different sections.

A great saviour are the exhibitions in Doln\u00ed V\u00edtkovice, with one great trick that saves money. The Science and Technology Centre offers <strong>a so-called Happy Hour from 5 to 6 pm, when a ticket costs just 105 CZK (about \u20ac4.50)<\/strong> to the Big World and 95 CZK (about \u20ac4) to the smaller U6, which is an amazing saving on an early-evening programme compared to the usual 320 CZK (about \u20ac13).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>In Kop\u0159ivnice<\/strong>, you can explore the giant Tatra museums full of trucks with the kids, or simply head off to warm up in one of the region&#8217;s many indoor aquaparks. The warm <strong>thermal baths in Velk\u00e9 Losiny<\/strong> are also a great choice, where the kids enjoy the water and you get some well-earned rest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One warning, though, belongs in every rainy-day plan in Northern Moravia. <strong>From 13 to 19 July 2026, the attractions in Doln\u00ed V\u00edtkovice are closed to the public due to the Colours of Ostrava festival<\/strong>, so if your holiday happens to fall on exactly this week, reckon with an alternative programme. A good alternative is then the mining museum at Landek Park or both Tatra museums in Kop\u0159ivnice, which operate independently of what&#8217;s happening in Ostrava.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"By_cable_car_to_Pustevny_with_a_pushchair\"><\/span>By cable car to Pustevny with a pushchair<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;6a77cba9419b2&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-key=\"6a77cba9419b2\" class=\"wp-block-image size-full wp-lightbox-container\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"2528\" height=\"1696\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--pointerdown=\"actions.preloadImage\" data-wp-on--pointerenter=\"actions.preloadImageWithDelay\" data-wp-on--pointerleave=\"actions.cancelPreload\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" src=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/sevm-socha-radegast.jpg\" alt=\"Statue of the god Radegast on the ridge below Radho\u0161\u0165 (photo edited)\" class=\"wp-image-374661\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/sevm-socha-radegast.jpg 2528w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/sevm-socha-radegast-300x201.jpg 300w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/sevm-socha-radegast-700x470.jpg 700w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/sevm-socha-radegast-768x515.jpg 768w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/sevm-socha-radegast-1536x1030.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/sevm-socha-radegast-2048x1374.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/sevm-socha-radegast-696x467.jpg 696w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/sevm-socha-radegast-1392x934.jpg 1392w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/sevm-socha-radegast-1920x1288.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2528px) 100vw, 2528px\" \/><button\n\t\t\tclass=\"lightbox-trigger\"\n\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\taria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-bind--aria-label=\"state.thisImage.triggerButtonAriaLabel\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--right=\"state.thisImage.buttonRight\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--top=\"state.thisImage.buttonTop\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Heading into the mountains with a pushchair might sound like nonsense, but at Pustevny it works absolutely perfectly. You ride up comfortably on the chairlift from R\u00e1ztoka, paying <strong>a surcharge of just 60 CZK (about \u20ac2.50) to transport a pushchair<\/strong>. Up on the ridge a beautifully paved, wide path then awaits you towards the Radegast statue and the chapel on Radho\u0161\u0165, which is made for pushchairs and even balance bikes can handle it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For older children you can rent scooters for the way down; a descent along the Kn\u00ed\u017eec\u00ed cesta trail costs 220 CZK (about \u20ac9) with online booking. Just keep in mind that <strong>they only lend children&#8217;s scooters from age ten<\/strong>, and exclusively accompanied by an adult on another scooter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One more practical thing worth knowing in advance. A ticket bought online is valid for a full six months, so you can buy it at leisure at home, but the one from the ticket office is valid <strong>only on the day of purchase<\/strong>. Prices also differ \u2014 an adult pays 300 CZK (about \u20ac12) online for a return ride, and 320 CZK (about \u20ac13) on site. You&#8217;ll find the timetable and current operations on the <a href=\"https:\/\/pustevny.cz\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">cable car website<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Where_to_eat_in_Northern_Moravia\"><\/span>Where to eat in Northern Moravia<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The regional cuisine in the north will fill you up so reliably that after lunch you&#8217;ll be wondering whether you can still conquer that castle. \ud83d\ude05 But it&#8217;s worth it. In Wallachia you absolutely must not skip the traditional <strong>frg\u00e1ly \u2014 huge thin pastries generously spread with quark<\/strong>, plum jam, poppy seeds or pears. They even have a protected designation, and we buy them at practically every stall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Another classic that Luk\u00e1\u0161 and I have practically every time we come here is the delicious <strong>halu\u0161ky with bryndza sheep&#8217;s cheese and potato pancakes<\/strong>. The locals also love traditional kyselica; they usually add sausages and bacon to it as a local speciality, but for us vegetarians a purely meat-free version of this hearty cabbage soup \u2014 which warms you up after every hike \u2014 can be arranged in many pubs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the Beskydy you&#8217;ll then come across the ubiquitous <strong>Ostrava beer Radegast, brewed nearby in No\u0161ovice<\/strong>, and after a good meal the locals will happily offer you a shot of proper Wallachian slivovice plum brandy to aid digestion. And if you visit \u0160tramberk, definitely have their famous gingerbread &#8220;ears&#8221; with a coffee or ice cream. They&#8217;re baked from thin dough, rolled into a cone, of course completely meat-free, and taste absolutely fantastic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There are plenty of specific spots to drop into in the region. At Pustevny it&#8217;s worth stopping at <strong>Libu\u0161\u00edn and Mam\u011bnka<\/strong>, two of Jurkovi\u010d&#8217;s wooden buildings from the end of the nineteenth century, which today serve as an inn and a mountain hotel. Sitting in the carved interior with a view of the ridges is an experience in itself. In Ostrava the most interesting caf\u00e9 is <strong>Bolt Caf\u00e9<\/strong> right on top of the blast furnace in Doln\u00ed V\u00edtkovice. The ride up, including 160 CZK (about \u20ac6.50) worth of refreshments, costs 320 CZK (about \u20ac13), so you&#8217;re essentially paying for the view and getting the coffee thrown in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Beer lovers will be delighted by the <strong>Radegast brewery in No\u0161ovice<\/strong> below the Beskydy, where you can walk through the production and taste the beer straight from the source. You&#8217;ll find tour bookings and dates on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.radegast.cz\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">brewery&#8217;s official website<\/a>. And at the Wallachian museum in Ro\u017enov, several stalls with frg\u00e1ly and homemade baked goods operate during the season, so there you&#8217;ll eat practically on the go between the timbered cottages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you&#8217;re looking for specific tips on where to go, here are my tried-and-tested ones. When you&#8217;re in Ostrava, definitely drop into <strong>Hogo Fogo Bistro<\/strong>, where they make fantastic burgers and there are plenty of things for vegetarians too. In Ro\u017enov pod Radho\u0161t\u011bm we were thrilled by the <strong>Vala\u0161sk\u00e1 hospoda U Jan\u00edka<\/strong> right in the open-air museum, where they have the best kyselica far and wide. And in \u0160tramberk don&#8217;t skip the caf\u00e9 <strong>U M\u011bstsk\u00e9ho pivovaru<\/strong>, where along with fresh &#8220;ears&#8221; you can have an excellent coffee and enjoy a great atmosphere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Practical_tips_transport_bookings_and_crowds\"><\/span>Practical tips: transport, bookings and crowds<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The whole vast region is very well connected by rail, which makes travelling without a car considerably easier. <strong>Ostrava lies right on the main rail corridor<\/strong>, so you can get here incredibly quickly and comfortably by express train. From Ostrava&#8217;s stations, regular local services then connect towards the Beskydy, for example to Fr\u00fddek-M\u00edstek or Fren\u0161t\u00e1t pod Radho\u0161t\u011bm, from where you can easily head out into nature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you&#8217;re travelling by car straight into the mountains, arm yourself in peak summer season with a good dose of patience. You can drive all the way up to Pustevny, but <strong>the car park tends to be hopelessly full on summer weekends<\/strong> as early as mid-morning. The safest bet is therefore to leave the car down in R\u00e1ztoka and use the cable car. You&#8217;ll find exactly the same parking problem at the popular B\u00edl\u00e1 Opava trail, where you have to arrive really early in the morning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Want mountains, but without a queue for a selfie at every signpost? Head <strong>to the N\u00edzk\u00fd Jesen\u00edk<\/strong>. The areas around Sovinec castle or <strong>Velk\u00e9 Karlovice in the Javorn\u00edky<\/strong> offer beautiful, unspoilt scenery, yet keep a much sleepier and quieter character than the well-known peaks of the Beskydy. Always also check in advance for any traffic restrictions and closures along your route.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Where_to_go_next\"><\/span>Where to go next<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you&#8217;re tempted to explore the local mountains in more detail, take a look at our article <a href=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/en\/beskydy-wallachia-czech-republic\/\">Beskydy and Wallachia: 20 tips on where to go<\/a>, where you&#8217;ll find plenty of further inspiration.

The local microclimate is so unique and healthy that people with respiratory problems come here for treatment from all over the country.

The path leads over wet stones, slippery wooden walkways and in places even over steep ladders, so only head here with children in a carrier or on foot.

From Ov\u010d\u00e1rna, all that awaits you is a very pleasant walk along a paved path that even smaller hikers or parents with strollers can easily manage. The summit itself is in the first zone of the protected landscape area and you cannot get there by regular car.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-1785747217005\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"When_does_the_World_of_Technology_in_Ostrava_have_discounted_admission\"><\/span>When does the World of Technology in Ostrava have discounted admission?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>If you want to save money, head to the exhibits in the early evening.
