Vítkov straddles the upper valley of the Čermná in the Moravian-Silesian Region, and its setting amid the Nízký Jeseník uplands has long made it a local centre for the surrounding rural country. First recorded in 1301, the town was also known by its German name, Wigstadtl, reflecting a complex regional past. The Church of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary anchors the central square, while routes from town lead towards the forests of the Oderské vrchy and the Libavá Military Training Area.
