Loucna nad Desnou: Kouty nad Desnou: Červenohorské sedlo - Modrá sjezdovka - dojezd k lanové dráze
The Hrubý Jeseník range defines the setting of Loučná nad Desnou — the Desná valley is enclosed by steep, forested ridges that climb towards Červenohorské sedlo. Near this mountain pass, cleared ski runs and lift infrastructure form part of a long-established recreation area set among conifer woodland. It is a distinctly upland environment, contrasting with the settlements farther down the valley. The surrounding Jeseníky are one of Czechia’s principal mountain regions, shaped by broad ridges, wooded slopes and routes linking the valleys. The road across Červenohorské sedlo connects Šumperk with Jeseník, giving the pass an important transport role alongside its use for mountain sports.

Among the towns of the Olomouc Region, Loučná nad Desnou stands out for its long settlement pattern in the Desná valley beneath the Hrubý Jeseník mountains. The municipality includes Kouty nad Desnou, where the valley rises toward high mountain terrain and routes leading into the Jeseníky Protected Landscape Area. Above it lies the Dlouhé Stráně pumped-storage power station, a major piece of Czech engineering whose upper reservoir is set high in the mountains. Rather than an urban centre, Loučná is a base for following the river valley, mountain roads and marked walking and cycling routes through the surrounding forests.

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.
