Šléglov: Hotels and Accommodation

Šléglov lies in a small valley carved into the upland of the foothills of the Rychlebské hory by the Staříč stream, which rises there. At 798 metres, Kutný vrch is the highest point in the cadastral area of Šléglov and is associated with a documented history of mining involving the crushing and grinding of gold-bearing ores.

Landscape and Nature

The landscape features of Šléglov include vistas and viewpoints. The Řeznická Chapel is located above Šléglov near Staré Město in the Šumperk District. A blue-marked hiking trail passes it between Branná and Staré Město pod Sněžníkem. The chapel offers views of the Králický Sněžník and Hrubý Jeseník mountain ranges.

Šléglov is associated with the Králický Sněžník Natura 2000 Special Protection Area for birds as a local environmental asset. In the wider regional surroundings of Šléglov, the bird protection area protects the corn crake (Crex crex) and its habitat in extensively managed meadows.

Geology

The geological site is a quarry in a rock face that was operated to produce aggregate for bunkers. The quarry contains fine-grained, massive, greenish dark-grey amphibolite with garnet visible in places.

History and Culture

Šléglov has been documented in historical records since 1325. In the 16th century, Šléglov appears again in records concerning settlements administered from Kolštejn Castle in Branná. Following the turmoil of the Hussite Wars and the Bohemian–Hungarian Wars, Šléglov was probably abandoned; documents referred to the place as deserted.

The Calvary group below Dvorský vrch is a sandstone column beside a no longer used path. It contains a relief of Mary Magdalene with a vessel for fragrant ointment. The Calvary group also includes a crucifix and figures of the Virgin Mary and Saint John.
