Discover Bělá Pod Pradědem

Bělá Pod Pradědem offers nature experiences, traces of history and various opportunities for active days of holiday. The waterfalls and hiking trails are particularly impressive, complemented by a small via ferrata park, a nature reserve and places of historical significance. Anyone looking for a holiday apartment can therefore align their choice well with their planned excursions and preferred travel pace.

Waterfalls and hiking trails in the landscape

Vysoký vodopád is the highest waterfall in the Jeseníky Mountains and drops 28 m. The approach from the “Vodopády” bus stop in Bělá pod Pradědem follows a blue-marked hiking route and is approximately 3.6 km long.

The educational trail “S Koprníčkem na Keprník” offers a different perspective on the landscape. It is 14 km long, moderately difficult and includes twelve stations with information about the history and nature of the Šerák-Keprník Reserve. This means that it is not just the journey itself that takes centre stage: the stations also give the trail an explanatory character. Anyone who enjoys combining nature and regional history will find a clearly structured hiking day here.

The Rudohorské Waterfalls form a system of cascades with a total height of approximately 60 m over a length of around 120 m. The route there is intended for pedestrians and runs partly along a forest path and partly along cycle route 6207.

Nature, history and a climbing experience

The small Ferrata Kalafatičova plotna via ferrata park in Bělá pod Pradědem offers a more active focus. It features six short routes ranging from difficulty level A to C, as well as two rope bridges. The stated difficulty levels make it possible to incorporate the via ferrata experience specifically into your holiday planning and alternate it with other excursion ideas.

The history of the area can also be seen in several places. The remains of a medieval fortification are located in the centre of the Adolfovice district on the left bank of the Bělá, near Road 44, behind the premises of Jesan and close to the “Bělá pod Pradědem, Adolfovice – Mlýnky” bus stop. A forest cemetery also commemorates the past: it was established in the early 1960s as a memorial honouring Russian prisoners of war who were buried in the surrounding forests.

The Filipovické louky nature reserve bears code 1527. It is of regional ecological, scientific and aesthetic importance and protects endangered plant and animal species that depend on wet spring meadows and their habitats. For those interested in nature, this protected area adds another thematic focus to the waterfalls and hiking trails.

The right accommodation for your travel plans

When planning a trip to Bělá Pod Pradědem, you can choose from various types of excursions: hikes, a waterfall destination, via ferrata routes and historical discoveries.
