Zlate Hory
Zlaté Hory are best known in Czechia for their long tradition of gold mining. The town lies in the Zlatohorská vrchovina, a wooded upland in the country’s northeast near the Polish border. Its name, meaning “Golden Mountains”, recalls the deposits that brought miners to this part of historic Silesia during the Middle Ages. The Zlatorudné mlýny complex keeps this heritage present through traditional gold-panning demonstrations. Around the town, fields, scattered houses and forested ridges create a distinctly rural setting alongside a place shaped by centuries of extraction.

Zlaté Hory combines a gold-mining past with the subdued rhythm of a small borderland town in a way that reflects its position in the Zlatohorská vrchovina, close to Poland. This upland belongs to the Jeseníky mountain country, and Biskupská kupa rises nearby as one of its familiar peaks. Gold was mined here from the Middle Ages, a legacy recalled at Zlatorudné mlýny, where reconstructed water-powered mills demonstrate historic ore processing. The former German name, Zuckmantel, also reflects the mixed Czech-German story of this Silesian border area.

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.
