Radhost: Radhošť - Moravskoslezský, Czech Republic

About location

Few places in the Moravian-Silesian Beskids have a history as closely tied to the meeting of pagan tradition and Christian pilgrimage as Radhošť. This 1,129-metre mountain stands on the main ridge of the Beskids, above the resort settlement of Pustevny. Its summit chapel is dedicated to Saints Cyril and Methodius, missionaries associated in Czech tradition with the Christianisation of Great Moravia. Radhošť is also linked to Radegast, a Slavic deity; a well-known statue by Czech-American sculptor Albín Polášek stands on the ridge route from Pustevny. Forest, open mountain turf and marked walking routes give the peak a distinctly upland character.

The open, gently undulating Orlice Table defines the setting of Radhošť — fields, small woods and local roads shape the rhythm of this small East Bohemian municipality. In the Pardubice Region, west of Vysoké Mýto, Radhošť belongs to a close-knit rural area of cultivated land and neighbouring settlements. Its appeal lies in the everyday character of the Czech countryside rather than urban bustle, with the wider region reflecting eastern Bohemia’s enduring agricultural tradition.

Pardubický kraj has been an eastern Bohemian heartland of the Czech lands since the Middle Ages. The Labe crosses its western lowlands around Pardubice before the terrain rises toward the Orlické Mountains and the Žďárské vrchy. Pardubice developed around its Renaissance castle and is associated with the Pardubice Steeplechase, a race first held in 1874. To the south-east, Litomyšl is known for its Renaissance château, inscribed on UNESCO’s World Heritage List, while Kladruby nad Labem preserves the stud landscape linked to the Kladruber horse.

Country Czechia

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.
