Jeseník

Jeseník Essentials

Jeseník serves as the historic center of the Jeseníky Mountains and the cradle of modern hydrotherapy. The town is defined by the legacy of Vincenz Priessnitz, whose 19th-century healing methods are still practiced at the Priessnitz Spa Resort and the open-air Balneo-park. Architectural highlights include the 13th-century Water Fortress, housing the regional museum, and several historic churches. Nearby, the Zlatý Chlum stone tower offers panoramic views extending across the mountain ridges into Poland.
