Vikantice: Hotels and Accommodation

Vikantice is a small mountain municipality in the Rychleby Mountains, in the immediate vicinity of the Jeseníky Mountains. The village lies at an altitude of 613 metres and is particularly characterised by its picturesque, wild natural landscape.

The Staré Město cycle route runs through Vikantice. The Jeseníky section of the Moravská stezka cycle route also passes through the village.

Vikantický kopec is located about 1 kilometre from Vikantice on the road to Habartice. From Vikantický kopec above Vikantice, you can see the Králický Sněžník massif, the southernmost part of the Rychleby Mountains and a large part of the western Jeseníky Mountains. Vikantice is also home to the Valíčkova lípa, a lime tree with a trunk circumference of 540 centimetres and a height of 22 metres.

The branch church of St Wolfgang dates from 1641 and already had a predecessor building at least a century earlier. The church, including its surrounding wall, has been protected as a cultural monument of the Czech Republic since 1958.

Vikantice was first mentioned in 1437 as a village belonging to the Kolštejn estate. Graphite was formerly mined in the vicinity of Vikantice. The hill northeast of Vikantice, known as Švédské zákopy, was associated with Swedish fortifications during the Thirty Years' War.
