Things to see and do North Moravia

Opened since 1956, it now houses 300 species of animals worldwide and participates in a series of endangered species protection programs.

This is the part of the Jeseník mountains where the relief is the steepest. Remains quite soft, taking up, you can admire the forest that weaves as far as the eye can see.

Between Šumperk and Jeseník, you can stop in Červenehorské Sedlo. From here, a marked path takes you to the highest point of the massif, mount Praděd (1 491 m). At the top of the latter, why not eat in the telephone tower 160 m high? While lunch, you can admire the landscape around even more, because if the weather is nice, you can see, it seems, the Slovak mountains or Krkonoše. But much walks can be considered (from the cities, Ramzova, Šerák, Keprník, etc.). It is enough to trust the good menu provided by the Tourist Offices. Each season has their charm. In summer and autumn, the massif is a paradise for gatherers of fruit and wood mushrooms.

It is the largest site of its kind in Moravia. A path is set along one of the lakes more or less covered by vegetation.

This lake called mousse is the main one of this peat bog, an area dating back 7,000 years. Paintings explain the rare plants and animals found here, in this particular environment. As in all the peat bogs in Europe, the place is ideal for legends.

At 1,491 m, Mount Praded is the fifth highest peak in the Czech Republic. It can be reached from Karlova Studánka. Follow the signs to the Barborka hostel, from there a 4 km marked trail (easy level) leads up to the summit, passing some waterfalls and other natural wonders. At the top, the 145 m high TV tower houses a good restaurant, but a good picnic will prove to be just as pleasant and less touristy. The summit can also be reached by a 12 km trail from Červenohorské sedlo (on Route 44).

Don't hesitate to take a walk through the Šipka National Park and Memorial with its many monuments and statues dedicated to Czech personalities, and a magnificent view of the city. At the foot of the hill you will see the entrance to the famous Šipka Cave (Jeskyně Šipka), where the jawbone of a Neanderthal child and other Paleolithic artifacts were discovered in 1880. A nice walk to take and a great chlorophyll bath in perspective.

You will find out about the activities of the city and its surroundings and the accommodation options.

Inaugurated in 1902, in the heart of the city, this park incorporates both urban (part of the city walls and the Jewish Gate) and natural (rocks and a branch of the Morava River) elements. The paths are lined with chestnut, lime, ash, maple and beech trees, as well as many flowers. The park is divided into several gardens. In the alpine garden, for example, you will find a dwarf Japanese white pine and other rare species.
