Sumperk: Šumperk - Olomoucký, Czech Republic

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.

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.
