The Moravian Trail begins in Mikulovice U Jeseníku; railway connections lead to Poland and Zlaté Hory. This brings together two different approaches to planning: a cycling route with a named starting point and a rail journey with two destinations. The history of the “Church of St. Nicholas” is also part of choosing where to stay.
Cycling the Moravian Trail
The Jeseníky section of the Moravian Trail is 79.8 km long. The route description leads from Mikulovice, with a gentle climb to Písečná, and continues via Česká Ves to Jeseník. The distance and sequence of places answer different planning questions: the mileage applies to the entire section, while the sequence shows the direction from Mikulovice. This lets you distinguish the described route from its total length when planning your bike ride. The gentle climb is specified for the section to Písečná and does not automatically describe the entire stage. So when interpreting the route plan, consider both the starting point and the order of the places named, as well as the length of the Jeseníky section.
Rail connections and travel days
Mikulovice has rail connections to Poland and Zlaté Hory. Check the current timetables for your specific travel day before arranging your arrival and departure. These destinations make rail travel a separate planning consideration alongside the Moravian Trail’s starting point. This lets you consider whether your travel plans will be based first on a rail destination or on the cycling route.
Church and history
The new “Church of St. Nicholas” was handed over for use by the parishioners of Mikulovice on November 20, 1904. The date refers to a specific historical event. The church is also considered the most monumental church building in the Jeseník region. Two points of reference are important: the handover is associated with the parishioners of Mikulovice, while the architectural assessment names the Jeseník region as its area of comparison. Those interested in cultural history will find both a locally rooted historical landmark and a regional architectural reference here.
Events and flight opportunities
Mikulovické dny 2025 featured music, good food, activities for children, a program for all generations, and sales stands. This information refers specifically to the 2025 edition. If an event date is important to your trip, check the dates for the edition you want to attend.
Aeroklub Jeseník offers opportunities for gliding, powered flying, and skydiving, as well as public flights over the Jeseníky Mountains. If you plan to take a public flight, confirm availability with the Aeroklub before your trip.
Cycling route or public flight?
Cycling and flying offer different experiences: the Moravian Trail is described by its starting point, sequence of places, and the length of the Jeseníky section; public flights go over the mountains. You can choose between a specified route and a flight service whose availability you should confirm in advance.
