Stare Mesto: Ski resort Kunčice

The landscape around Staré Město is a forested mountain valley below the Králický Sněžník massif, which has shaped both the settlement pattern and a local economy linked to forestry and outdoor tourism. The Krupá River runs through the town, while its municipal territory reaches north towards the Polish border and the massif’s higher ridges. First documented in 1325, Staré Město developed as a small Moravian town; its distance from Czechia’s major urban centres still gives it a distinctly upland character. Hiking and cycling routes, along with winter cross-country skiing trails, lead into the surrounding woods and slopes. Discover further points of interest through webcams across the Králický Sněžník area and the Olomouc Region.

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.
