Bystrice pod Hostynem

The Hostýn Hills define the setting of Bystřice pod Hostýnem — their wooded foothills bring the Moravian uplands close to the town’s streets and keep its surroundings closely tied to the countryside. The town is strongly associated with bentwood furniture: a Thonet factory was established here in 1861, beginning a manufacturing tradition continued today by TON. Nearby Hostýn, one of Moravia’s important pilgrimage hills, is crowned by the Basilica of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary. Bystřice makes a practical base for exploring the quieter side of the Zlín Region, where forest roads, small settlements and long-established crafts shape the local character.
