Autumn outings in the Jeseníky Mountains: hiking, cycling, relaxation and a culinary experience

The Jeseníky Mountains are the ideal place for day trips in autumn. Colourful forests, mountain trails, fresh air and fewer tourists create perfect conditions for walking and cycling. And when the weather turns cooler, you can round off a day in the mountains by relaxing in thermal waters or at a spa.

The Jeseníky Mountains offer trips for lovers of the mountains, nature, engineering monuments and cycling. In autumn, the local landscape has a special charm – the mountain slopes take on shades of yellow, orange and red, and the hiking trails tend to be quieter than during the peak summer season.

We’ve put together some tips for autumn trips in the Jeseníky Mountains, which you can enjoy as part of a day trip or a weekend break. Head to the iconic Dlouhé Stráně pumped-storage power station, discover the beauty of the Jeseníky Mountains on foot or by bike, and treat yourself to some relaxation at the Velké Losiny Thermal Park. You can round off the day with a culinary experience at the Wellness Hotel DIANA in Velké Losiny.

A tip for an autumn day in the Jeseníky Mountains

Why not plan your day like this, for example:

  • Morning: a trip through the Jeseníky Mountains to explore the autumn countryside
  • Afternoon: a visit to the Velké Losiny Thermal Park and some relaxation
  • Evening: an autumn menu and a gastronomic experience at the DIANA Wellness Hotel

It is precisely this combination of exercise, exploration, good food and relaxation that makes an autumn stay in the Jeseníky Mountains such an enjoyable experience – one you’ll be keen to repeat.

Hiking and cycling

Set off in search of the colours of autumn

Autumn is one of the most beautiful times of year for hiking or cycling in the Jeseníky Mountains. The forests are ablaze with colour, and on your hikes you can enjoy views of the surrounding ridges without the summer heat.

The area around Velké Losiny is an ideal starting point for exploring the Jeseníky Mountains. You can choose between a shorter route or a more challenging mountain hike, depending on the weather and your fitness level.

When planning an autumn hike or cycle trip, remember to wear suitable footwear, warmer clothing and allow plenty of time. The days get shorter quickly in autumn, and at higher altitudes the weather can be significantly colder than in the valley.

Tip: Set off in the morning and allow plenty of time for the return journey. Plan your trip in advance – you’ll enjoy the Jeseníky Mountains in autumn best when you take your time.

The Dlouhé Stráně Pumped-Storage Power Station

One of the most famous tourist destinations in the Jeseníky Mountains is the Dlouhé Stráně pumped-storage hydroelectric power station. It is one of the most significant engineering structures in the Czech Republic and also offers impressive views of the surrounding Jeseníky Mountains.

The upper reservoir is situated at an altitude of approximately 1,350 metres above sea level. In good weather, you can enjoy panoramic views of the Hrubý Jeseník range from here.

Several hiking trails lead to Dlouhé Stráně. You can therefore tailor the trip to your abilities and fitness level. In autumn, however, always check the current conditions on the trail before setting off and be prepared for the weather to change more rapidly at higher altitudes.

Tip: Dlouhé Stráně is a great choice for anyone wishing to combine the beauty of the Jeseníky countryside with a unique engineering monument in a single trip.

Velké Losiny Thermal Park: relaxation after a day out

The Losiny Thermal Spa is a great destination for days when you want to take a break from hiking but still enjoy the Jeseníky Mountains.

The thermal park in Velké Losiny offers the chance to relax in pools of thermal water and is the ideal choice after an autumn outing. The warm water will pleasantly warm you up after a day spent outdoors and help you recharge your batteries.

Velké Losiny also offers other interesting sights, such as Velké Losiny Castle or the traditional handmade paper mill. You can therefore combine a visit to the thermal park with exploring the local history.

Tip: If you’re planning an autumn trip to the Jeseníky Mountains, feel free to set aside a whole day for Velké Losiny – you can go on an excursion in the morning and round off the afternoon by relaxing in the thermal waters.
