Zlate Hory: Ondrejovice v Jesenikach: Rejvíz - Běžecké stopy
Zlaté Hory lies along the Olešnice River, among the forested ridges and meadows of the Zlatohorská vrchovina in the Jeseníky region. Gold mining shaped the town for centuries and gave it its name, meaning “Golden Mountains”; its story is interpreted at Zlatorudné mlýny, where ore-processing mills have been reconstructed. The pilgrimage church of Maria Hilf, dedicated to Our Lady Help of Christians, is another established landmark nearby. Scattered hamlets, pastureland and woodland form much of the municipal area near the Polish border, lending Zlaté Hory a distinctly rural character beside the larger mountain resorts of northern Moravia.

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.

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.
