Branna: Branna u Sumperka: Ski areál Branná
Branná straddles the Branná River in the Jeseníky Mountains of northern Moravia, and its narrow valley has long channelled settlement and travel through this upland part of Czechia. Formerly known as Goldenstein, the community retains an unusually concentrated medieval and Renaissance core. Above it stand the ruins of Kolštejn Castle, while the former lower castle precinct developed into a Renaissance chateau. The Branná River continues south to join the Morava, and the surrounding Jeseníky landscape is formed by wooded slopes and mountain valleys. Branná is a small base for exploring this quieter side of the range, where historic buildings sit close to the river corridor and rail line.

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.
