Hrad Sovinec
Sovinec
Sovinec is a mighty medieval castle spread along a long rocky ridge in the forests of the Nízký Jeseník highlands. Founded in the early 14th century, it gradually grew into one of the region's most extensive fortifications, with towers, gates, and courtyards dating from the Thirty Years' War. Visitors are drawn to the climb up the tower for its views, historical exhibitions, and popular fencing shows and period events that bring the castle to life. A picturesque setting full of forests and the nearby Rešov Waterfalls makes Sovinec a great day-trip idea from accommodation in the area.
