Description
Smrk (1,276 m) is the second highest peak of the Moravian-Silesian Beskydy and one of the wildest summits in the Czech Beskydy. Unlike the popular Lysá hora, Smrk receives fewer visitors and retains more of its original character — dense spruce-fir forest covers most of its slopes. The summit area forms part of the large protected area where bears, lynx, and wolves still roam.
Important Information
Less-visited alternative to busy Lysá hora. Approach from Frýdlant nad Ostravicí or Ostravice. Year-round trail; muddy in spring. Beskydy Protected Landscape Area. Large carnivores present — hiking in groups recommended. Excellent ridge circuit with Lysá hora (full day).
