Municipality: Krásná
The Beskydy Mountains present a picturesque view in every season of the year and are known for a unique beauty found nowhere else. There are quiet little corners stashed away between the mountains and enchanting views of faraway regions that will take your breath away. And all of this is dominated by Lysá hora, the queen, and few people would think of leaving our region without first making a trip to the top of it.
The top of Lysá hora is currently home to a television transmitter, cottage for the mountain service, and weather station. You can find accommodations at the Lysá hora ski cottage or at the Kameňák hostel. Dining is available at the Lysá hora cottage or the Šantán buffet.
At a height of 1,323 m above sea level, Lysá hora truly offers some unforgettable views. During nice weather you can see the mountain ranges of Malá and Velká Fatra, Martinské hole, High, Belian and West Tatra, and also Jeseníky.
Cycling to Lysá hora is demanding and requires physical preparation. The best way is to take the asphalt road from Papežov. It must be taken into account, however, that ordinary vehicles are banned from entering this road, meaning even bikes, and during the descent a maximum speed of 40 km/hour must be maintained throughout the entitě length of the road, and that the cyclist can encounter cars or buses that have permission to use the road. An off-road trail leads from Frýdlant nad Ostravicí to Malenovice, around Jízdárna, Malenovický kotel to Ivančena, through Zimný and then along the asphalt road that leads to the top of Lysá hora. The total distance is 22 km. In 2006 the Lysá hora nature trail was opened by the Beskydy National Park Administration, Lesy ČR s. p. and the communities of Ostravice and Malenovice. The trail introduces visitors to the natural and scientific wonders of the highest mountain in the Moravian-Silesian Beskydy, long one of the most visited places in the Beskydy. The Lysá hora nature trail is 16.5 km long with 15 stops and two information boards at the top of the hydrometeorological station. You can travel along it from two locations ? from the train station in Ostravice and from the parking lot of Rajská bouda in Malenovice. Both branches link up on the Lukšinec Ridge and from there the trail continues on to the top. That?s why if you want to do every stop, you should plan your trip from one village up to the top and then down to the other.
The highest peak in the Moravian-Silesian Beskydy, Lysá hora, can be reached on skis from many directions. The trail most often used starts in the parking lot in Krásná - Papežov.
If you want to try skiing on Lysá hora, you have to first complete the demanding climb to the top. For those with limited physical strength or who prefer to save their energy, a tractor or snowmobile can be hired to take them up. Then you can experience the atmosphere of skiing that doesn?t exist anywhere else in the Beskydy. Skiing on Lysá hora, thanks to its height, offers the most incredible views and is in service for nearly half the year, from November to April. A ski slope of the type BLV can be found on the peak itself. The length of the course is 360 m with a total drop of 50 m and difficulty level ranging from blue to red. The slope is usually running on Saturdays, Sundays and holidays from 9:00-16:00, Mondays-Fridays by reservation. The slopes are smoothed with equipment.
