Dear Steemit friends and followers,
Welcome to my Travel Tip series where I promote some of the most beautiful places, interesting landmarks and impressive architectural sites of my homeland, the Czech Republic.
Today, I will take you to a captivating little Moravian spa town, the town of Velke Losiny.

Located in the Olomouc Region, some 9 km (6 mi) outside the town of Sumperk, Velke Losiny is - despite its name ("velke" means "big" in English) - a small village with approximately 2,600 inhabitants.
Velke Losiny was founded in 13th century but it was in the second half of the 16th century, during the era of the noble Zerotin family, when the town flourished. The Zerotins built a majestic Renaissance chateau that is the most famous landmark of the town today. However, this impressive piece of architecture has some dark history too. At the end of the 17th century, the chateau was the site of numerous brutal witch trails that resulted in the death of 56 people.
Another thing that Velke Losiny is famous for is the thermal spa. Found in a large park, the spa offers several procedures and therapies for a number of illnesses. There are six hot springs reaching a temperature of up to 37 degrees Celsius (99 degrees Fahrenheit).

Since Velke Losiny is surrounded by breathtaking landscape of the nearby Jeseniky Mountains, the town is also very popular among outdoor enthusiasts.

Make it a dream that you will go after and I am sure you will be visiting sooner then you think. It is all in your hands. I am wishing you the best of luck.
Although I don't have any travel plans but I was just checking hotels to stay at Velke Losiny. I was surprised to see that their are several option available. My surprise was due to the fact that the town is not very big and that made me wonder about staying there. So that's really good if somebody is planning to visit.
Also you mention the tragedy there - It is really sad, but it also adds a certain charterer of mystery to the place.
Wow, that sounds like you are making some arrangements already checking the hotels:)... Sounds like a good start to an even greater adventure.:)
It sure would be !
First of all, I pray to God for the ease of those 56 people who died, may their souls rest in peace. As far as the location is concerned, there is no doubt that this village Velke Losiny has been blessed with the natural beauty. You are so lucky that Czech Republic is the most peaceful and naturally blessed country with so many wonderful sites to visit.
Thank you so much for sharing the travel tip with us Tomas :)
Very lucky indeed, I do feel blessed. Thank you and have a great night.
Charming castle, beautiful dandies. I think if I was there we could take a ride, and wander in nature. Learn a bit about local culture and ravaged hunting. Really a nice place.
this place is very beautiful. I love nature and this place is filled with natural blessing and its history is also amazing
wow Velke Losiny is an amazing place with breathtaking landscape of the nearby Jeseniky mountain. Surrounded by Lash greenery make it more attractive. Nice architectural building is the trade mark of Czech Republic. By the way what is the best time to visit Velke Losiny. May be in winter or spring due to thermal spa I guess.The more you share about your country the more i inspired such a lovely place to visit a country where beauty and hospitality commonly exist. Thanks for sharing @czechglobalhosts
@czechgloabalhosts, Highl;y recommend task you every day doing via travel tips who want to or who stay in Czech Republic. Yep..Velke Losiny is most captivation city to me via see some images there. Every Prague locations has big attractions with amazing architecture and history. Currently very peaceful country. You told there had dark history. But their burials now being most fascinating place. Old peoples sacrificed lot. But didn't wasted their effort. I guess lot of travelers prefer to hiking Jeseniky Mountains. It has brilliant landscaping view.
You are the best entertainer for promote Czech's tourist industry. It's awarded task. We all wait to see your every supporting services.
I think South Moravia has got a lot of beautiful towns where several chateau could be located. Valtice is one of those. You can take a look at the Chateau Valtice and you will enjoy it.

Your country is really fabulous and impressive with its buildings that highlight its history, congratulations.
I just found your account and it's a dream for me what you do, I really admire you and I'm very happy for you you've had the luck of travel aorud the world and start your own travel business. Thank you very much for all yours travels tips and and for the beautiful photos you share with us. I'm very happy that you are enjoying your trips, Nothing like the distance to see things with perspective and face the problems with a new attitude. Living joyful or different experiences and letting go of the burden of routine is the best therapy.Travel is a source of creativity and new ideas, they are a great instrument for self-knowledge. Traveling is one of the most beautiful things that life has, to my liking. To walk, to know, to discover, to experience, to disconnect from the routine. Traveling kills prejudice and ignorance, therefore a broad criterion of people and life will never be achievable if we sit in our own corner of the world.
