Pustevny: Hotels and Accommodation

The Pustevny cultural heritage complex, with its prominent buildings Libušín, Maměnka and Zvonice, is a unique ensemble of Art Nouveau buildings by the Slovak architect Dušan Samuel Jurkovič dating from the late 19th century.

Culture and History

The Pustevny complex has been designated a national cultural monument since 1995.

After the 2014 fire, Libušín was rebuilt through a scientific reconstruction using the same materials and craftsmanship as more than a hundred years ago.

Hiking and Cycling

The Radhošťská ovčí dálnice educational trail is approximately 4 km long and leads from the Pustevny saddle to the Chapel of Saints Cyril and Methodius on Radhošť. It has nine stops covering the nature, landscape and history of this beautiful and widely known part of the Beskids. In winter, the trail can be completed on skis, and in summer by mountain bike.

The statue of Radegast stands halfway between Pustevny and Radhošť at an altitude of 1,120 metres. From Pustevny, it can be reached via a wide path that is also marked as a blue hiking trail and as the European long-distance hiking route E3.

Cross-Country Skiing and Winter

Pustevny is the starting point of a popular cross-country skiing area; several cross-country ski routes pass through Pustevny, making it a suitable starting point for further excursions. A total of 74 km of cross-country ski tracks of varying difficulty are groomed around Pustevny; among the most sought-after routes with magnificent views is the easy ridge route towards Radhošť or Martiňák.

Every January, Pustevny hosts an exhibition of ice and snow sculptures with a long-standing tradition.
