Sport and Relaxation in the Jeseníky Mountains
The strategic location of our spa town, Velké Losiny, directly attracts cycling enthusiasts. Everyone can find a route suitable for their own fitness level. If you wish to explore the beauty of the Jeseníky Mountains and prefer not to go on foot, cycling is the perfect choice. Tourist centres are happy to recommend one of the many cycling routes – it is entirely up to you, which level of difficulty and distance you choose. Inspired by the historically famous witch trials in Velké Losiny, we recommend the Witch Cycling Route.
On the Trail of the Witches by Bike
Along this educational cycling trail, you will enjoy not only historical information and fascinating stories, but also the stunning landscape of the Jeseníky Mountains. The route is 138 kilometres long and is divided into two sections.
The Šumperk section (91 km) starts in Mohelnice and continues through Mírov, Šumperk, Nové Domky, Rapotín, Velké Losiny, Sobotín and Vernířovice, ending at Červenohorské sedlo.
The Jeseník section (47 km) begins at Červenohorské sedlo and leads through Domašov, Jeseník, Česká Ves and Zlaté Hory.
Along the route, there are several marked stops with information about the witch trials, usually in the form of memorial plaques and monuments. The cycling route is marked on road signs with the logo of a witch on a bicycle.
