Jesenik: Priessnitz Spa Inc.

Jeseník occupies the valley where the Bělá and Staříč streams meet, in the Olomouc Region of northern Czechia between the Hrubý Jeseník and Rychlebské Mountains. The town is closely associated with Vincenz Priessnitz, whose water-cure institute at Gräfenberg, established in 1822, helped introduce hydrotherapy across Europe. Priessnitz Spa still occupies wooded slopes above the centre, while the medieval Water Fortress is home to the Museum of Jeseník. Marked trails lead from town into the surrounding Jeseníky uplands.

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.
