Sumperk

Šumperk sits on the Desná River in Czechia’s Olomouc Region, where the foothills of the Hrubý Jeseník range meet the broader Moravian interior. The town is often called “Little Vienna”, referring to the 19th-century prosperity that left an urbane imprint on its central streets and public buildings. Its history also includes the notorious witch trials of the late 17th century, documented in an exhibition at Geschader House. From the centre, the Jeseníky’s wooded uplands and mountain routes are close at hand, while Šumperk itself remains a working regional town rather than a resort.
