Basic information about the trail
The trail between Mezivodí and Pustevny starts in two ski resorts and tourist interesting places of the Beskydy Protected Landscape Area. We will pass by the partisan memorial on Martiňák through beech forests, spruce forests and nice views. The panorama shows the valley with the houses on Kněhyně and Prostřední Bečva, the peaks such as Soláň, Tanečnice, Vsacký Cáb, Vizovice and Hostýnské vrchy. An interesting fact is that Pustevny is located on the border between the Moravian-Silesian Region and the Zlín Region and two municipalities of Trojanovice and Prostřední Bečva.

Mountain saddle Pustevny in Beskydy
The Pustevny mountain saddle is one of the most important mountain resorts in the Beskydy Mountains. It is located in the Radhošt’ mountain range between the Radhošt’ and Tanečnice hills. Pustevny is dominated by wooden buildings built in folk style by Dušan Jurkovič. The attractiveness of Pustevny attracted members of the Frenštát association Pohorská jednota Radhošt’, who set themselves the goal of making remote places of the Beskydy Mountains accessible, marking hiking trails and establishing a network of mountain hotels and hostels. In 1891, the first shelter built here was the Pústevňa shelter, and three years later the Šumná shelter was built next to it. Later, as the interest of tourists increased, they decided to increase the accommodation and hospitality capacities. Therefore, they built two more shelters designed by the Slovak architect Dušan Jurkovič in the style of Folk Art Nouveau. Libušín and Maměnka were opened in 1899. On the night of 2 to 3 March 2014, a large fire broke out in the Libušín shelter, destroying mainly the right part of the shelter, which contained the most valuable dining room. The reopening of Pusteven took place on 30 July 2020.
Due to the decline in tourism after the First World War, it was not until the First Republic that further development of Pustevny took place. In 1926, the construction of the modern mountain hotel Tanečnica was completed. Six years later, another mountain hotel was built on the ridge between Pustevny and Radhoštěm – Radegast.
There is also an old Wallachian bell tower and a viewing arbour called Cyrilka – 1893 on the rocks called Podstupně. During World War II, the 2nd Slovak Partisan Brigade of M. R. Štefánik prevented the retreating German soldiers from destroying the buildings on Pustevny. About 300 steps east of the Cyrilka lookout tower is an inaccessible cave of the same name.
The Pustevny area with the above-mentioned buildings is administered by the Wallachian Museum in Rožnov pod Radhoštěm. Another attraction is the above-ground panoramic Wallachian Trail, which is 610 metres long, with the forest section up to the tower being 390 metres long and the rest being a walkway to the 22-metre high cascading tower. It includes a glass viewing platform and a 150-metre-long suspended “Himalayan” walkway.

Libušín and Maměnka shelters
Near the top station of the cable car from Trojanovice to Pustevny there is a picturesque mountain cottage Maměnka, Libušín was destroyed by fire in March 2014, after a long reconstruction it opened in July 2020. The buildings were designed by architect Dušan Jurkovič in the style of folk architecture of Wallachia and Kysuce. The hermitages are dominated by wooden buildings built in the folk style by the prominent Slovak architect Dušan Jurkovič. Both buildings were managed by the Wallachian Museum of Nature in Rožnov pod Radhoštěm, which operated a stylish restaurant and hotel here. The Pusteven area is a National Cultural Monument.
However, one of them – the famous Libušín – was destroyed by a devastating fire on 3 March 2014. The interior of Libušín was decorated by the Czech painter Mikoláš Aleš, who took his interest in Wallachia from the Czechoslovak Ethnographic Exhibition held in Prague in 1895. The interiors of Libušín were painted by the academic painter Karel Štapfer based on Alš’s drawings of the robbers Ondráš and Juráš, the portent Stavinoha and the god Radegast. However, the interior of the dining room was completely destroyed by fire and the roof collapsed. Since 2016, a costly reconstruction has been underway, to which the public has also contributed a great deal in the form of a public collection. The rebuilt Libušín opened on 30 July 2020.
The new Libušín was built as a scientific reconstruction, i.e. using original technologies. Traditional handicraft procedures were followed in all repairs, using original materials and technologies. The cottage is truly built by hand as Jurkovič built it. The craftsmen had to learn to do their work by hand and there is a practical reason for this. For example, a hand-planed plank can withstand the weather for decades more than a plank that has been worked with a planer.
The wood for the building was cut in the winter when the trees have the least water and at the same elevation as the Hermitage to withstand the local conditions. One beam was carved from each fir tree donated by the Forests of the Czech Republic for the construction. The new ones supplemented the original ones, of which only a minimum could be preserved.

The Wallachian Trail – the trail between the treetops of the Pustevny
The above-ground panoramic Valaska Trail is 610 metres long, with the forest section up to the tower being 390 metres long and the rest being a walkway up the 22-metre high cascading tower. It includes a glass viewing platform and a 150-metre-long suspended “Himalayan” walkway. The Path Through the Trees stands at the top station of the cable car in Pustevny, just outside the cross-country skiing area, approximately 250 metres from the cable car towards the Tanečnica peak. The tower is 22 metres high, the highest floor of the tower is 1099 metres above sea level and in good weather it is possible to see the Jeseníky Mountains or Veľká Fatra.
The trail offers two unique technical solutions. A suspended walkway, the construction of which has never been used anywhere else in the country, and a glass observation deck. The latter is meant to evoke the feeling of standing in the air. Visitors will thus spend moments in the treetops, where there is a magnificent view of the Beskydy ridge. The trail is situated at a height of four to fifteen metres and includes the aforementioned observation tower and a 150-metre-long rope walk.
On the trail, visitors will learn many interesting facts about the nature of the Beskydy Mountains and the surrounding area. In the future, the operators plan to build a double zip line – a rope pulley and the highest trampoline playground in the Czech Republic.
Trail parameters:
height at the highest point from the ground 15.2 m
length 394 m
total length of all wooden profiles used – 15 935 m
