💡 Tips
- This town is the well-suited starting point for hiking Lysá hora. Start your ascent early in the morning to beat the crowds.
- The local train station connects directly to mountain trailheads; consider using trains instead of driving.
- Mountain weather is highly unpredictable here; always pack a waterproof layer, even on sunny summer days.
- Look out for the local 'Wallachian' (Valašsko) wooden architecture and folklore influences in nearby villages.
🍽 Food
A thick, traditional cabbage and sausage soup. Best enjoyed in a mountain hut (chata) along the trails.
A huge, sweet circular pastry topped with poppy seeds or pear jam. Find it in local cafes or bakeries.
Try local venison or wild boar dishes at traditional restaurants near the forest edges.
🛍 Shopping · 🧘 Quiet spots
Check the sporting goods shops along the main streets for last-minute hiking and weather gear.
Look for local honey, cheeses, or herbal liqueurs (like Lysá hora bitters) in small specialty shops.
Take a relaxing walk along the river flowing through the town, a great place to cool off in summer.
For a less strenuous hike, follow the lower trails at the base of the Ondřejník mountain.

Frýdlant nad Ostravicí is picturesquely located at the foot of the Moravian-Silesian Beskids in the valley of the Ostravice River. Known as the 'Gateway to the Beskids,' the town is a prime starting point for hiking trips to Lysá hora, the range's highest peak. Founded in the 14th century, the settlement evolved into a major ironworking center starting in the late 18th century, following the establishment of ironworks in 1775. The 17th-century Church of St. Bartholomew stands as the most significant religious monument in the area. Beyond its industrial heritage, Frýdlant is celebrated for its artistic traditions, particularly in decorative cast iron and glassmaking. Today, the town successfully merges its industrial roots with a bustling tourism sector, providing modern sports facilities and cultural venues. Its favorable climate and high air quality contribute to its status as a popular recreational destination in the Moravian-Silesian Region.
