Discover Suchá Rudná

Suchá Rudná combines a remarkable mining history with a chapel in the village centre, described cycling connections, nature observation and winter sports opportunities. If you would like to combine different interests during your trip, you will find specific starting points here for culture, activity and landscape. In the village centre, history and religious culture take centre stage; outside the centre, cycling, nature observation and mountain landscapes come together.

Mining History and Chapel in the Village Centre

The mining site of Suchá Rudná documents the intensive medieval gold mining in the ore district of Andělská Hora. In the centre of the village stands the Chapel of the Holy Trinity with a bell tower. Its weather vane gives 1796 as the year of construction. The chapel regularly hosts Christmas and Easter concerts organised by the Suchá Rudná Beautification Association. Together with the mining site, this creates a cultural focal point that combines two different approaches to the history of the village: medieval gold mining in the ore district and a building in the centre with a bell tower.

Cycling and a Nature Trail through the Landscape

The 53-kilometre cycling route 6029 leads from Valšov via Moravskoslezský Kočov, Bruntál, Stará Rudná and Suchá Rudná to the Hvězda saddle, and continues via Vidly to Vrbno pod Pradědem. Another connection is cycling route 6069: it leads from Pod Šindelnou via Anenská myslivna, Anenský vrch and Andělská Hora to Suchá Rudná. This allows you to place the village within different cycling routes without committing to a single route. The stated length of route 6029 provides clear guidance for planning a day trip, while route 6069 describes another connection via Anenská myslivna, Anenský vrch and Andělská Hora.

For a quieter exploration, the “Zdraví a příroda v Jeseníkách” nature trail begins in Suchá Rudná near the Rozcestník hut. It complements the cycling options with a nature-focused starting point in the village.

Mountains, Nature and Regional Discoveries

The Suchá Rudná–Zlatý lom area is one of the two richest habitats of the great crested newt (Triturus cristatus) in the Czech Republic. The mountains Vysoká hora [Ludvíkov], Čertova hora, Soukenná and Velký Děd are located around Suchá Rudná. The wider regional area also includes the ruins of Edelštejn and Cvilin. The selection of described destinations therefore ranges from a distinctive animal species to mountain landscapes and historical sites.

Winter Activities in Suchá Rudná

In the cold season, the “Okruh kolem myslivny” cross-country skiing loop is available; it is connected to the exit station of the Annenberg ski lift area and is suitable for all types of skiers. The yellow Peryho-Okruh in Suchá Rudná is a training loop. It is open to the general public for active recreation and testing physical abilities. These two options give your trip planning a clear winter focus without leaving out the summer themes of cycling, nature and culture.
