Lysá hora, Memorial site in Moravian-Silesian Region, Czech Republic
Lysá hora is a summit at 1323 meters altitude in the Moravian-Silesian Region of the Czech Republic, equipped with a television transmitter, mountain rescue station and meteorological observation facilities. The sandstone summit spreads across several small communities and sits within a protected natural area with well-marked hiking routes.
The first documented climb took place in the nineteenth century and initiated regular mountaineering activities in the area. Technical facilities were later built on the summit to support communication and weather observation.
The name means bald mountain and refers to the treeless summit that has been known across the region for centuries. Locals from several villages hike here and use the hut as a meeting point during group outings.
A 16.5-kilometer educational trail with 15 stops and two information boards guides visitors through the natural features of the mountain. The ascent can take several hours depending on the starting point, so hikers should plan to start early and wear sturdy footwear.
From the top, clear weather reveals views reaching several mountain ranges such as Little Fatra, High Fatra, Martinske Hole, Western Tatras and Gesenke. These panoramas make the summit a popular destination for photographers and nature watchers.
