Public electric bicycles can be reserved, rented, and returned at the information centre. The service complements walks with the option of travelling by bicycle while remaining publicly accessible. The “Zatopené osudy” educational trail is also suitable as a destination for a cycling trip. The landing stage is the place for tourist information and the public electric bicycle service; the educational trail offers insight into the history of the former valley.

“Zatopené osudy”: history along the educational trail

The “Zatopené osudy” educational trail offers a special perspective. During a walk or cycling trip, it explains what happened to the people who lived in the valley before it was flooded. Leskovec nad Moravicí is considered one of the oldest settlements in the Jeseníky region. The educational trail complements this long local history with a concrete remembrance of the former valley and its inhabitants. Its historical focus differs from today’s experience by the water: the emphasis is not on the bathing area, but on life before the flooding. Slezská Harta forms the town’s scenic setting, while “Zatopené osudy” makes visible the past of the people who lived there. This allows a visit to the water to be expanded with a historical perspective without equating the two topics. The educational trail therefore forms an independent historical activity alongside time spent by the water. Anyone who would like to get to know the surrounding area beyond the present day will find here access to a local history that encompasses not only the age of the settlement, but also the consequences of the flooding.
