Česká Ves: Hotels and Accommodation

The Naučná stezka kolem České Vsi educational trail is approximately 8 kilometres long and has a total of 25 stops. It begins in the Krajník district at the Southern Viewpoint, leads through the centre of Česká Ves and continues to Čertovy kameny.

Nature and Trails

The educational trail includes the remains of wartime trenches, a restored wooden chapel, forest springs, stone menhirs and climbing walls. There are also watermills on the Pompeho říčka stream along the route. From there, views extend over the Zlatohorská vrchovina highlands, the Priessnitz Sanatorium and as far as the Polish plains.

An iron railing was installed at Čertovy kameny in 1892 to make it easier to reach the highest rock tower. The rock massif, which is surrounded by numerous legends, has attracted tourists and nature lovers since the Gräfenberg spa was founded.

Cycling

The YEScyklo network includes more than 230 kilometres of marked circular routes. They lead mainly over the Sokolský hřbet ridge above the Jeseník spa resorts and through Česká Ves. The circular routes around Česká Ves, Jeseník and the spa area are suitable for average cyclists and experienced children.

Culture and History

The Válečné muzeum Česká Ves is dedicated to the inhabitants of Česká Ves who fell in the First World War, prisoners of war from the Second World War and the fates of soldiers from more recent deployments. The exhibitions also cover Czechoslovak pre-war fortifications, the mobilisation of the Czechoslovak Army in 1938, and aviation or flight-related events in the Jeseník area. The museum is housed in a former fire station whose foundations were laid around 1891/1892 and which served firefighters continuously until January 2015.

The Muzeum Auto – motoveteránů is located in the centre of Česká Ves near the “U zrcadla” bend and is run by the local AMV club. During the season, it was open to visitors daily.

The Church of St Joseph was consecrated in 1928. It is distinguished by its unusual two-tower design and richly furnished interior, and can be visited by prior arrangement with the municipal office.

The monument to the victims of the First World War in Česká Ves was erected in 1934 in memory of 113 men who died or went missing during the First World War. A marble pylon standing beside it commemorates the victims of the Second World War from 1939 to 1945.

The Budova Šoltézství is the oldest building in Česká Ves and is mentioned as early as before 1550. It is the birthplace of Sofie Priessnitzová, who was born there on 17 September 1804 into a wealthy farming family. The birthplace of Johan Schroth commemorates his birth in Česká Ves on 11 February 1798 and his later founding of a dietary natural-healing institution in Dolní Lipová.

Active Activities

The Fitstezka above Česká Ves offers outdoor exercise elements such as TRX, high and low parallel bars, slalom, jumping and balancing stations, as well as stretching and push-up areas. It is located below the summit of Černá hora at an altitude of 809 metres. From there, there are views of the Bělá valley and the Biskupská kupa lookout tower at 890 metres and Zlatý chlum at 891 metres.
