About
Plan a Pustevny and Radhošť mountain day with the ridge walk, practical timing, seasonal conditions, indicative costs and a checked road-distance estimate from Prague.
Background & story
Pustevny is a mountain saddle in the Moravian-Silesian Beskids mountain range of the Czech Republic, not far from Radhošť, in the municipality of Prostřední Bečva. It was named after the Czech word for a hermit. Hermits lived here until the year 1874. For Pustevny, wooden buildings built in traditional folk style are typical. They were built and designed in the end of the 19th century by the architect Dušan Jurkovič.
Historical and cultural context is adapted from the linked source. Check opening times, prices and access rules on the official website before travel.
Don’t miss: Jurkovič's storybook wooden chalets, a sky bridge, and an easy ridge hike to a chapel and the Radegast idol — great for all ages.
