Getting into this quiet, provincial and seemingly slightly powdered resort, few people will believe in its once great destiny. Since 1822, Jesenik has a heavy historical burden: here was built the first hydropathic institution, putting, for a minute, the beginning of the whole world of balneology.
You can touch the history in the flesh on a low hill in the center of the city - there stands a strange kind of building: a hybrid of the palace, a research institute and the den of an ascetic professor. Actually, this is the case: from 1822 the first hydropathic institution was opened here, and its founder was the local doctor Vincenz Prisnits.
I must say that Jesenik has two specializations at once. The first, "high", treat people, and the second - a mundane - to entertain them with quality ski slopes.
Located in North Moravia, the resort is surrounded by high mountains, which gives tourists at once two advantages. A unique microclimate - this time, excellent trails and a stable snow cover on them - these are two. In a word, you can go here and improve your health, and go skiing.
