Jeseníky

The Jeseníky Mountains spread out in the most northern corner of Moravia at the state border with Poland. Their heart is formed by the Hrubý Jeseník, the second highest mountain ridge in the Czech Republic, dominated by the majestic, 1,492-metre-high Praděd Mountain. The region is further formed by the massive of the Kralický Sněžník, the Rychlebské Mountains and the Nízký Jeseník. All those mountain ridges, except for the Nízký Jeseník, are higher than 1,000 m above sea level.

There are many spa facilities and mineral springs in the Jeseníky area. The spas in the town of Jeseník found by Vincenz Priessnitz are probably the region’s most attractive spas, however the spas in Velké Losiny, Bludov, Karlova Studánka and Lipová also boast a long and rich history, as well as the same therapeutic results.
