Roudno: Hotels and Accommodation

Roudno is located in the immediate vicinity of the Slezská Harta Reservoir. At Velký Roudný, geological features combine with viewpoints, trails and a chapel.

Nature

The Velký Roudný National Nature Monument has been protected since 1966. It protects a uniquely well-preserved stratovolcano from the Early Quaternary in the Bohemian Massif. Velký Roudný has three lava flows; a quarry was formerly operated in the longest, northeastern flow for basalt extraction.

Trails

The Velký Roudný lookout tower was built in 2007. The 20-metre-high wooden structure consists of laminated larch beams on concrete foundations and has a covered viewing platform at the top. From the lookout tower, there are views of the Hrubý Jeseník ridge, Nízký Jeseník, Krnovsko, Opavsko, the Beskids and the Oderské vrchy.

The “Po vulkanitech” educational trail leads to the summit of Velký Roudný. The Křížová cesta Stations of the Cross also leads to the monument to the victims of the First World War near the summit of Velký Roudný.

Culture

The Velký Roudný Chapel is protected as an immovable cultural monument under number 3941; heritage protection has been in place since 16 September 1996. A mass dedicated to Saints Peter and Paul is held in the chapel every year. The New Year’s ascent of Velký Roudný and the gathering at the chapel have been traditions of the municipality of Roudno since 1978.

The monument to the victims of the First World War in Roudno consists of three memorial plaques mounted on tuff stones, commemorating the inhabitants of the municipality who fell, died or went missing between 1914 and 1918. The monument is registered as an immovable cultural monument and was fully reconstructed in 2015.
