Stare Hamry

Stare Hamry is best known within the Moravian-Silesian Region for the Šance Reservoir, which holds back the Ostravice River and supplies drinking water to the Ostrava area. The municipality extends through a long Beskid valley beneath forested slopes, in the Moravian-Silesian Beskids near Lysá hora. Rather than a compact town centre, it is a dispersed mountain settlement, with houses and small hamlets following the river and side valleys. Its name recalls the ironworks that once operated here, linking today’s upland community to the region’s industrial past.
