Kamenná – Bradlo, Forest Trails and Local History

Kamenná lies in the southern foothills of the Jeseníky Mountains and combines a clearly recognisable valley setting with a distinctive mountain in the surrounding area. The village lies in a valley hollow below a wooded slope. To the east of Kamenná, the rocky Bradlo rises to 601 m. Bradlo offers views in all directions, especially to the southeast over the Uničovská tabule. The combination of valley, wooded slope, rock and views gives a stay several clearly distinguishable landscape impressions. This means that trip planning can focus both on the village’s landscape and on a specific mountain with far-reaching views.

Landscape and seasonal trails

The forest trails around Kamenná can be used for hiking in summer. In winter, they can be used for skiing. The season therefore shapes the activity: in summer, hiking through the surrounding area is the main focus, while in winter, skiing takes centre stage. Those who visit Kamenná at different times of year can adapt their stay to this seasonal shift. No specific type of route or additional winter sports facilities are implied.

The Rohle Reservoir lies near Kamenná, in the cadastral area of the municipality of Rohle. The municipality of Kamenná describes it as a touristically attractive destination. The reservoir complements the valley setting, wooded slope and rocky Bradlo with a body of water. This means that the surrounding area offers valley, forest, mountain and water as distinct landscape elements. The Rohle Reservoir can therefore be considered as an additional destination alongside Bradlo and the forest trails.

Traces of local history

The history of the village goes back a long way: the first written mention of Kamenná dates from 1385. Kamenná also has a chapel dating from 1757. Both dates provide concrete reference points in the village’s history.

The history of work is also part of the local past. A wire-goods factory was founded in Kamenná in 1873. A considerable part of the population was engaged in home weaving and the production of various types of nets. The village’s history is therefore reflected not only in dates and a single building, but also in the craft and industrial activities associated with Kamenná.

Practical orientation on site

In addition to its landscape and history, the village also has specific facilities that help with orientation. Kamenná has a bus stop. There is also a sports facility with a children’s playground and areas for volleyball and football. The children’s playground was built in 2017. The facility therefore combines a play area with two sports. Families can include the playground in a stay with children, while volleyball and football offer additional opportunities for shared physical activity.
