Tripeek Morava

Our goal is to introduce you to places that are magical in their own way. Hostýnské vrchy, however, is a step further in terms of its magic. It is said that the Virgin Mary saved the Czech land from the Tatars, who came here in 1241 to kill and destroy. Tatar warriors plundered Europe in the 13th century. When they arrived in Moravia, the poor population fled before them to Mount Hostýn, where a healing spring (from which you can still drink today) and prayer helped them survive. The Mother of God took pity on them and sent a storm on the invaders that literally scattered them. That is also why, unlike her other peaceful depictions, the Virgin Mary of the Holy Host mercilessly throws lightning bolts around her. A magical aura has hovered over Hostýn since time immemorial. It was the site of a Celtic oppida, a Romanesque rotunda, and the mountain is said to be full of silver treasures. Today, the extraordinarily beautiful Basilica of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary stands here. Under the dome of the temple you will see a blue sky with golden stars, Wallachian motifs on the walls and an altar in a golden shine. Its decoration is on par with global competitors. Well, you can judge that for yourself. From the lookout tower of the inn, you can see Hana in one direction, Wallachia in the other. You have the whole of Moravia in the palm of your hand. Enjoy such a view, as well as the whole atmosphere of the Hostýn Hills.
