Ostravice: Lysá hora
Few places in the Moravian-Silesian Region have a history as closely tied to forestry as Ostravice. Set in the Moravian-Silesian Beskydy, the municipality lies beneath Lysá hora, the range’s highest summit, and follows the Ostravice River through a wooded mountain valley. The river is more than a local landmark: it historically formed part of the boundary between Moravia and Silesia. Today, Ostravice is a recognised base for walks and mountain outings, with the surrounding Beskydy shaped by spruce and beech forest, side valleys and scattered settlement. Its location connects a working mountain community with access to the Beskydy Protected Landscape Area.

Ostravice lies where the Ostravice and Čeladenka rivers meet in the Moravian-Silesian Beskydy, with forested slopes rising toward Lysá hora, the range’s highest summit. The village sits within the Beskydy Protected Landscape Area and is a familiar starting point for mountain walks, particularly routes ascending Lysá hora. Its railway terminus, reached from Frýdlant nad Ostravicí on a line opened in 1908, reflects the settlement’s longstanding connection to this mountain valley. Hiking, cycling and winter sports shape local life across the surrounding foothills.

Moravian-Silesian Region combines an industrial legacy with mountain terrain in a way that reflects its position between the historic lands of Moravia and Silesia on Czechia’s northeastern frontier. Ostrava, its largest city, developed around coal mining and ironmaking; the former Vítkovice ironworks, now the Dolní Vítkovice cultural complex, remain a defining reminder of that era. Beyond the urban basin, the Beskydy range rises in the southeast, while the Oder has its source in the Oderské vrchy. Opava adds another thread of Silesian identity through its historic centre and cultural life. Browse additional webcams from the surrounding area to extend your view of the Moravian-Silesian Region.

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.
