Ascents to the highest peaks of the Beskydy Mountains
The highest peaks of the Moravian-Silesian Beskydy
The Beskydy Mountains are undoubtedly a unique mountain range in our country. This is mainly due to the fact that they were the only mountaineers in the Mesozoic, and this gave them their steepness, because they did not have as much time to round as the rest of the mountains in our country. Therefore, the ascents to the local hills are among the really nutritious and the views are far and wide in good weather. The Beskydy Mountains actually have five highest peaks, but in Kněhyna, the third highest, entry is forbidden.
Ascent to Lysá hora
Behind the sun of sunrise and sunset
There is a lot to write about Lysá hora, the highest peak of the Moravian-Silesian Beskydy. This time I will focus on the sunset and sunrise, which is worth experiencing here. continue reading
Ascent to Spruce
Beskydy K2
Spruce is with its 1276m the second highest mountain in the Moravian-Silesian Beskydy. As a rule, routes from three directions lead to the top, Ostravice, Čeladná Podolánek and Staré Hamer. I will describe the most accessible from Ostravice here. continue reading
Ascent to the Devil's Mill
Little brother of the forbidden Priestess
Čertův Mlýn (1,206 m above sea level) is the fourth highest peak of the Moravian-Silesian Beskydy Mountains, located in the Radhošť Massif, next to its sister Kněhyně (1,257 m above sea level), which is strictly forbidden to enter, due to the last natural refuge of Tetřev Hlušec. The best starting point is the train station in Kunčice pod Ondřejníkem, or the easiest route from Podolánky, where the connections do not run so often. continue reading
Ascent to Travný
The quietest mountain in the Beskydy
With its height of 1203 m, Travný is the fifth highest peak of the Moravian-Silesian Beskydy. Thanks to the peak, which is overgrown with spruce, it does not offer us many views, maybe that is why few tourists come to it and thus it becomes one of the few affected peaks of the Beskydy Mountains, where you can still find a place of peace. There are three routes to the top, from Pražma, Morávka, or the easiest from Visalají. continue reading
Ascent to Radhošť
May walk from the saddle of Pindula to Pustevny
Although Mount Radhošť 1129m does not belong to the highest points of the Moravian-Silesian Beskydy, it is still an important place for both pilgrims and tourists. I will describe the route from the Na Pinduli saddle, from where there are regular connections, over the top of Radhošť to Pustevny, from where you can take the chairlift to Trojanovice. continue reading
Hike Pustevny - Radhošť
Beskydy classic
Along with the ascent to Lysá hora, a walk from Pusteven to Radhošť mountain (1,129 m above sea level) is the most classic hike you can take in the Moravian-Silesian Beskydy. In addition, it is a ridge hike without major climbs, so you will meet a lot of families with children and cyclists. Beautiful views of the surrounding mountains, including the Lesser Fatra in Slovakia, await you almost all the way. On this hike you will conquer two peaks – both Radhošť and Radegast continue reading
Ascent to Noříčí hora
Quiet corner of Beskydy
Noříčí hora 1047m forms an important hill in the Radhošť massif, complementing the scenery of the Malá and Velká Stolová mountains. From the top of Tanečnice, which is directly on the main ridge, an unmarked trail leads through Zmrzlý vrch 1043 m. There are not many views, but maybe that is why few tourists come here and there is a much-needed peace. continue reading
Ascent to Velký Javorník
A small big hill
Velký Javorník, a small but important peak in the Moravian-Silesian Beskydy Mountains. We can get to it by following the yellow sign from Veřovice, the green one from Frenštát p. R. or the blue one from the Na Pinduli saddle. All variants provide an interesting ascent and there are regular connections. With its height of 917 m, it does not belong to the giants, but the ascent is definitely not free. At the top is a tourist hut and a wooden lookout tower. continue reading
