Lysa hora
Lysá hora ( German: Kahlberg; 1324 m above sea level , is the highest mountain in the Moravian-Silesian Beskydy and Těšín Region . It lies on the border of the municipalities of Krásná , Malenovice , Ostravice and Staré Hamry . This peak was also the highest point of the Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia in 1939–1945 (although it is located in Silesia). On the bare (bald) peak, to which the road leads from Krásná, there is a characteristic telecommunications transmitter , a meteorological station and several mountain huts .
Several nature reserves and monuments have been created in the Lysá hora massif: Mazák and Mazácký Grúnik , Malenovický kotel , Satiny Waterfalls , Ostravice Riverbed , Ondrášovy díry ( Laščian: Ondrašovy ďury) and other smaller ones on the edges of the massif. The reason for the protection is the spruce forests with an admixture of fir-beech stands and areas of slope landslides. In the so-called Ondrašovy ďury there are pseudokarst caves and cracks that are also abundant in other parts of the mountain. Smaller rock formations have been created in the area of the Mazák and Řehucí streams, and waterfalls are characteristic of the Satin stream. The Ostravice Riverbed is protected due to its geological quality. The peak of Lysá hora was seriously damaged by industrial logging in the past.
Pustevny
Pustevny (1018 m above sea level ) is a saddle in the Moravian-Silesian Beskydy Mountains near Radhoště , which belongs to the municipality of Prostřední Bečva ( Vsetín district ). It was named after the hermits who lived here until 1874. Pustevny is characterized by wooden buildings built in the folk style at the end of the 19th century to the design of the architect Dušan Jurkovič . There is a ski resort here and a chairlift leads here. Under the peak of Tanečnice, the panoramic Valašska Trail was opened in 2019 .
The most famous buildings in Pustevny are Libušín and Maměnka . Both were built in 1898 thanks to the efforts of the tourist association Pohorské jednota Radhošť. They are wooden log cabin Art Nouveau buildings with rich decor typical of Wallachia and Slavic folk architecture in general.
In Pustevny there are also Zvonička Pustevny, Koliba U Záryša , Chata Šumná , Koliba Valaška , Chata na Pustevny and Hotel Tanečnica . From Pustevny a path leads along the ridge towards the west past the statue of the pagan god Radegast from 1931 to the top of Radhoště . Here there is a chapel from 1898 and a sculpture of Cyril and Methodius from 1930. On the way there is a wooden gazebo from 1928.
Radhost
Radhošť ( Moravian: Radhošč) is a mountain in the Moravian-Silesian Beskydy Mountains at the end of the prominent Pustevenský Ridge , 3 km southwest of Trojanovice and 6 km northeast of Rožnov pod Radhoštěm . With an altitude of 1,129 m above sea level, it is the seventh highest mountain in the Moravian-Silesian Beskydy Mountains and their westernmost thousand-meter peak .
According to legend, the Slavic god Radegast (Radhošť) - the God of the sun, war and victory - has been based on Radhošt since ancient times. His appearance, as depicted in the statue by Albín Polášek , does not seem particularly pleasant and angering him would probably not be good for a person. Despite this, or perhaps precisely because of this, generations of people have loved and cursed Radegast. Our ancestors respected him.
Nowadays, pilgrimages to Radhošť are held regularly in the summer, always attended by several thousand pilgrims. In 1939, at the beginning of the Nazi occupation, there were about 50,000 pilgrims on the pilgrimage to Radhošť.

The area under the castle was elevated to a town in 1359 by the Moravian Margrave Jan Jindřich . The town square houses the Štramberk Museum and the Zdeněk Burian Museum. The local city monument reserve protects not only the city core itself, but especially the historical wooden buildings on the outskirts.

Żywiec
Żywiec (German: Saybusch, Czech: Živec, Yiddish: Żivitz) is a town in southern Poland, in the Silesian Voivodeship, 15 km south of Bielsko-Biała. It is the capital of Żywiec County. It is located in the Żywiec Basin at the confluence of the Koszarawa and Soła rivers. It has a population of approximately 30,000. The first mention of the location dates back to 1308, and city rights from 1327.
The Old Żywiec Castle is a historic building in the center of Żywiec, built around the 15th century. In 1477, when the loyalty of the city and its owners to the Polish crown was uncertain, Żywiec was conquered for the second time by the royal army and the castle was razed to the ground. The new construction probably took place between 1485 and 1500, when two new northern towers were built and the southern towers were strengthened. Everything had a defensive and representative character with distinct Renaissance features. Around 1569, another reconstruction continued, when an arcaded Renaissance courtyard was also built and modifications were made with the intention of strengthening the palace's representative function, including the removal of the southeastern tower. The castle houses the City Museum.
The bell tower in Żywc is located in the corner of the square (Rynek) at the co-cathedral church of the Nativity of the Virgin Mary (Konkatedra Narodzenia Najświętszej Maryi Panny w Żywcu). The brick stone bell tower dates from 1724 and was built on the site of an older wooden bell tower from 1582, which was built by the Komorowski family and which burned down during the great city fire in 1721.
