Ostruzna: Jesenik
Tucked between the forested slopes of the Hrubý Jeseník Mountains and the Bělá valley, Jeseník is a place whose character is shaped by mountain water and a long spa tradition. The town lies in northeastern Czechia beneath a highland range whose highest summit, Praděd, reaches 1,491 metres. Its defining cultural legacy is the Priessnitz spa at Gräfenberg, where Vincenz Priessnitz developed water-based treatments during the 19th century. Founded as a spa institution in 1822, it helped establish Jeseník among Central Europe’s recognised spa towns. The compact centre and the spa grounds reflect a meeting of regional life, therapeutic heritage and mountain terrain.

Olomouc Region occupies a varied inland belt in eastern Czechia. Its terrain moves from the fertile Haná lowlands around Olomouc to the forested Jeseníky Mountains in the north, where Praděd reaches 1,491 metres, the highest summit in Moravia and Czech Silesia. The Morava River provides a north–south thread through the region and has long supported settlement and farming. Olomouc, the historic capital of Moravia, retains a notable baroque core; its Holy Trinity Column is inscribed on UNESCO’s World Heritage List. Smaller towns, agricultural country and mountain communities give the region a distinctly changing character.

The terrain of Czechia ranges from fertile lowlands in southern Moravia to mountain ridges along the northern frontier, giving this Central European country a distinctly varied geography. The Vltava runs through Prague before joining the Elbe, while the Krkonoše form part of the border with Poland and include Sněžka, Czechia’s highest mountain. Prague’s historic centre, with Prague Castle and Charles Bridge, reflects the city’s long role as a political and cultural centre. Beyond the capital, Bohemia is known for spa towns and brewing, and Moravia for wine-growing traditions.
