Horní Lomná lies in the Moravian-Silesian Beskids, by the Lomná River, and is considered a recreational area. Its forests and rare species, preserved vernacular architecture, and mountain trails offer different points of interest for planning your trip. The local sights give you specific ideas to help decide which side of the village you would like to explore more closely.

Forest landscapes and nature in Horní Lomná

The Mionší National Nature Reserve is the largest complex of Carpathian fir-beech forest in the Czech Republic. Horní Lomná shares the protected area with the neighbouring municipality of Dolní Lomná. Old beech and fir trees grow in Mionší, and the large quantity of deadwood provides a habitat for numerous rare fungi, beetles and birds. The area's nature is therefore shaped by both its distinctive forest type and its wildlife and fungi.

Another natural attraction is the Kyčmol Natural Monument: a small wet meadow in the Lomná valley, in the southernmost part of the non-forested Kyčmol area. While Mionší is known for its fir-beech forest, Kyčmol is characterised by open meadowland. These two landscape features offer different points of interest if you are interested in the municipality's natural surroundings.

The Mionší educational trail, which runs along the edge of the old-growth forest, has its own access rules. A rule recorded in 2024 stated that since 2015, access had only been possible with a guiding service provided by the municipality of Dolní Lomná. Check the seasonal dates before your trip if you plan to visit this trail.

Church, Way of the Cross and preserved vernacular architecture

Numerous vernacular buildings have been preserved in Horní Lomná, particularly in the Horní Přeláč area. A precisely dated landmark is the Neo-Gothic Church of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross: it was built between 1894 and 1896 and consecrated on 12 June 1896. The church and the preserved vernacular buildings show different facets of the village's architectural heritage.

Above the church, the Way of the Cross leads through a wooded ravine; its atmosphere is very quiet and meditative. It is about 700–900 metres long and takes 20–30 minutes to walk at a leisurely pace. The Lurdská jeskyně cave and Mariánská studánka spring are just a few steps from the church. For more than a hundred years, pilgrims, tourists and local residents have come here.

Hiking trails and cross-country skiing

Velký Polom is the easternmost peak over 1,000 metres in the Beskids, on the Czech-Slovak border, and an important trail junction for routes towards Severka, Skalka, Muřinkový vrch and Bílý Kříž. These destinations offer hikers several directions to consider when planning their trip.

Horní Lomná has numerous ridge trails for cross-country skiing. This is a seasonal activity in its own right, alongside hiking trails around Velký Polom. Trail maintenance and conditions can vary from season to season, so check them before planning your trip. The Way of the Cross, by contrast, has a clearly defined duration of 20–30 minutes. This makes it easy to plan the shorter cultural stop and the mountain trails as distinct parts of your trip.
