There are several routes up and down Lysá Hora – the highest mountain in Beskydy. The circular route from Malenice is one of the more varied and passes a number of good restaurants!

*A circuit around Smrk (1236m), the second highest Beskydy peak, from Čeladná : 17 km*
Smrk has a very characteristic profile – completely forested with a dense spruce plantation. This circular route is one of the nicest hikes in the region – and feels quite remote at times!
An easy circuit in the low hills near Čeladná following the Zaječí stezka: 10 km
The smart resort town of Čeladná is a good base for exploring the Beskydy region. This easy walk in the hills around Čeladná is a gentle introduction to the scenic terrain (and fine dining options!)
A short walk up to the Satinský waterfalls from Malenovice, above Frýdlant nad Ostravicí : 3 km
The Satinský falls are a series of small but picturesque Beskydy waterfalls, easily accessed from Frýdlant. The falls are accessed by a steep footpath, but it is worth the scramble!
*The Radegast trail from Pustevny to Radhošť, one of Beskydy’s finest ridge walks: 8 km*
The walk along the ridge of Radhošť (1129m) is one of the most scenic in Beskydy. It is also very popular due to the historic chapel on the summit and the amazing architecture at Pustevny.
*A walk around the Wallachian Open Air Museum in Rožnov pod Radhoštěm: 4 km*
The museum at Rožnov, on the edge of Beskydy, is the largest such museum in the country and has a superb collection of relocated and reconstructed folk architecture from the region.
Along the Beskydy border ridge between Bílý Kříž and Konečná: 15 km to 25 km routes
A fine footpath runs for many km directly along the CZ/Slovak border in Beskydy, offering walks of different lengths. This circular route is one of the nicest, with a couple of good restaurants.
*Along the Czech/Slovak border ridge above Bílá, a classic Beskydy walk: 10 km to 29 km*
Various routes along the scenic border ridge above the village of Bílá can be created using bus connections at Bumbálka and Konečná, but really keen walkers should try the 29 km loop!
A varied circuit in the Beskydy mountains to the Kotlová ridge above Horní Bečva lake – 12 km
Horní Bečva reservoir is a popular Beskydy swimming spot. Before taking a dip, consider a hike up to Kotlová mountain. There are a couple of scenic refreshment spots on the way!
The climb to Lysá Hora (1323m) from Ostravice train stain -16 km
This classic hike up Lysá Hora, the highest peak in Beskydy, is often started from Ostravice. Lysá Hora is one of the windiest and wettest places in the country so come equipped for all weathers!
