Loucna nad Desnou

Among the towns of the Olomouc Region, Loučná nad Desnou stands out for its long settlement pattern in the Desná valley beneath the Hrubý Jeseník mountains. The municipality includes Kouty nad Desnou, where the valley rises toward high mountain terrain and routes leading into the Jeseníky Protected Landscape Area. Above it lies the Dlouhé Stráně pumped-storage power station, a major piece of Czech engineering whose upper reservoir is set high in the mountains. Rather than an urban centre, Loučná is a base for following the river valley, mountain roads and marked walking and cycling routes through the surrounding forests.
