Bruntál District

Bruntál District spreads across 67 municipalities covering roughly 1,500 square kilometers of rolling and forested land in the northern part of Moravia. The area features varied elevations with several notable peaks throughout its territory.

The area began as a medieval settlement and later developed into an important industrial and trading center under the Habsburg rulers. Over the centuries, the region attracted workers in mining and crafts who shaped its economic life.

The region holds traditions of textile making and mining that families have passed down for generations, visible in local workshops today. People here keep old festivals and customs alive that mark the calendar and show deep roots in the land.

The region connects to other areas through two main roads and regular bus services link the larger towns throughout the district. Visitors should allow extra time for travel between scattered communities since everything spreads across a wide territory.

A large reservoir in the territory collects water from surrounding highlands and serves water supply plus leisure for the entire northern region. The area developed under strong influence of textile work and later mining, which was central to local communities.
