Ceska Ves: Zlatý chlum - Jesenik
Few places in the Olomouc Region have a history as closely tied to hydrotherapy as Jeseník. The town lies at the northern edge of the Hrubý Jeseník range, beneath Zlatý chlum, a forested summit crowned by a stone lookout tower dating from the late 19th century. Jeseník is inseparable from Vincenz Priessnitz, who developed his water-treatment methods at Gräfenberg, now the town’s spa district, in the early 19th century. This spa tradition gave the former Silesian town an international identity, while Zlatý chlum remains a defining mountain above its valley setting. The surrounding Jeseníky Mountains give Jeseník a distinctly upland character.

Built around a settlement in the Bělá River valley, Česká Ves grew into a municipality in the foothills of the Jeseníky Mountains in northern Czechia. The Bělá runs through the community, while wooded slopes and the wider mountain country begin close to its residential streets. Česká Ves stands just south of Jeseník, a spa town associated with Vincenz Priessnitz and the development of hydrotherapy in the 19th century. Industry is also part of the local story: the chain manufacturer Řetězárna Česká Ves is based here. The rail and road corridor through the valley connects the settlement with Jeseník and the surrounding 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.
