In August, I stayed a few nights in Kouty nad Desnou, in the Jeseniky Mountains. It was a little ski resort area, but in summer it's a hiking and biking paradise. My first afternoon there, I thought I'd just take a little hike to a waterfall I found on the map--not even one of the two recommended on the tourist brochures and signs. And this is what I found:
Then, the next day I hiked to Borový vodopad on the way to Praděd, Moravia's highest mountain.
The pictures really don't do these cascades justice, but here's an attempt:
A few more pics from the hike, including some of the local traditional woodcarving:
Cool bit of trail:
Very fun day. It turned into about a 16-mile hike (25.7 km) with about 3400 feet total gain (1041 m). Of course, that includes a long-cut when I got a little lost. However, I took a longer route to Praděd than you have to (Kouty nad Desnou to Borový Vodopad, then up Divoký Důl, then the red and green trails back down to Kouty). I think, overall, if your goal is Praděd, I would recommend my route from last time years ago: take a bus to Červenohorské sedlo and then walk the red trail to Praděd (9.3 km / 5.8 miles). It has some beautiful ridge sections with great views (and not as much elevation gain as my route). When you're done, you can retrace your route or walk 3.6 km (2.2 miles) down to Ovčárna and catch a bus back to wherever you're staying (though plan ahead--depending on the time and where you're going, that might take almost as long as hiking back)
