Discover Kamenná

Kamenná lies in the southern foothills of the Jeseníky Mountains. The village is situated in a valley below a wooded slope; to the east, the rocky mountain of Bradlo rises to 601 m. The valley, slope and mountain give the landscape a clear structure. This combination can help when choosing a destination if you are looking not just for a single place to visit, but for somewhere with scenery, leisure activities and a history of its own. The village is characterized by woodland, a range of outdoor activities and a long history.

Scenery and views from Bradlo

From Bradlo, views extend in every direction; the view southeast toward the Uničovská tabule is especially notable. Its elevation of 601 m and rocky character add two specific features to the panoramic views. Together with its location east of Kamenná, the mountain is a clear landmark in the landscape. The valley below the wooded slope provides a different point of reference: the mountain, valley and slope can be distinguished as separate features of the surrounding area. If you take the landscape into account when choosing a place to stay, you can consider both the prominent mountain and the village’s position in the valley.

Forest trails and nearby destinations

The forest trails around Kamenná can be used for hiking in summer and skiing in winter. The seasonal distinction is clear: hiking in summer, skiing on the surrounding forest trails in winter. This means that both the activity and the right time of year are part of planning your trip. Nearby is the Rohle Reservoir, in the cadastral area of the municipality of Rohle; Kamenná describes it as an attractive tourist destination. This provides a way to distinguish geographically between the forest trails around Kamenná and a nearby destination: the reservoir is in the cadastral area of Rohle.

Local history and leisure activities

The first written mention of Kamenná dates from 1385. The village has a chapel built in 1757. Another aspect of its history began in 1873, when a wire goods factory was founded in Kamenná. These dates refer to different historical milestones—a written mention, a building and the founding of a business. Together, they give an impression of the different aspects of the village’s history without conflating the events.

A considerable proportion of the population was also engaged in cottage weaving and making various kinds of nets. The history of Kamenná therefore includes work carried out at home as well as the founding of the wire goods factory. These activities differed in form, but complement each other as aspects of the local economic history: on the one hand, there was the founding of the factory; on the other, weaving and net-making, in which many residents were engaged.

Kamenná has a sports facility with a children’s playground and areas for volleyball and football. The playground was built in 2017. This date refers to the playground, while the facility includes areas for different activities. Kamenná also has a bus stop. The village’s description thus includes both a specific place for sports and play and a landmark for finding your way upon arrival.
