Jeseník, District town in Olomouc Region, Czech Republic.

Jeseník sits at 432 meters above sea level, where the Bělá River meets the Staříč Stream within the Zlatohorská Highlands region.

The town, initially named Frývaldov until 1947, emerged as a settlement in 1267 and developed through iron ore processing during the 14th century.

The regional museum in the 13th-century Water Fortress exhibits local history collections and geological specimens from the surrounding mountain ranges.

Jeseník maintains transportation connections to neighboring cities through regional bus networks and a railway station established in 1888.

The Priessnitz Medical Spa, founded in 1822, established itself as the first hydrotherapy institute worldwide, drawing patients from across Europe.
