Travný, Mountain summit in Morávka, Czech Republic.
Travný is a forested summit of the Moravskoslezské Beskydy in the Morávka area, rising to 1204 m between the Morávka river and the Mohelnice stream. Its steep western slope holds the Travný nature reserve, where beech and fir-beech stands change with altitude up to spruce forests near the top.
The summit lies in the Moravskoslezské Beskydy between the Morávka river and the Mohelnice stream. The nature reserve Travný potok was established in 1955 on 18.68 ha of the southeastern slope, and the larger reserve Travný, covering 154.85 ha of the western slope, followed in 2000.
In summer, blueberry pickers gather on Travný's slopes in large numbers, a use the sources note as more popular than hiking itself. The summit has no mountain hut or tourist facilities, and since 1 May 2020 the marked trails to the top were cancelled to protect a recovering capercaillie population; walking there remains legal.
Trails are accessible year-round, though winter conditions require appropriate gear and warm clothing. Visitors should prepare for changing weather and bring suitable equipment for varying seasons.
The summit lies on the border between the Morávka and Mohelnice catchments, and the Mohelnice rises on its western slope. The 154.85-hectare Travný nature reserve runs from the stream bank at 530 m up to the 1204 m summit, showing how beech forest gives way to spruce.
