Keprník and Šerák give the landscape in the eastern part of the Ostružná cadastral area a distinctive profile: the Branná rises below both mountains. There is also a church in the village centre, historic architecture in Ramzová, and skiing and summer activities. When planning a stay, you can choose how to balance nature, local history and seasonal activities.
Mountain scenery in the Ostružná cadastral area
The Keprnická hornatina covers the landscape in the eastern part of the Ostružná cadastral area. The Branná rises below Keprník (1,423 m) and Šerák (1,351 m). The elevations pinpoint the two named mountains, while the river’s source adds a second point of reference to the landscape. This places the peaks and source alongside local history and activities as distinct topics.
Church and architectural history
Ostružná was founded in 1561 by the Kolštejn estate. The Neoclassical Church of the Epiphany stands in the centre. Construction was completed in 1794; the church dates from the late 18th century and has been preserved almost in its authentic form. Most of its furnishings were brought together from deconsecrated churches in Branná and Olomouc. This brings together a clearly dated building history and furnishings from two other places in a single building.
You can find a different architectural style in Ramzová, a district of Ostružná: a Neo-Gothic chapel dating from 1897 stands there. Comparing it with the Neoclassical Church of the Epiphany highlights two distinct architectural styles and dates: the church, whose construction was completed in 1794, and the chapel from 1897.
Ski resorts and how to find your way
The Ramzová ski resort starts in Ramzová, passes through Čerňava and ends in the Šerák area. The Ostružná ski resort comprises the Skiareál Ostružná, the TJ Řetezárna Česká Ves area in the upper part of the village, and the Na Hájovně lift. The descriptions offer different ways to get your bearings: a route is specified for Ramzová, while Ostružná is described by its areas and lift.
At the Skiareál Ostružná, there are six groomed runs on the northern slopes, with a total length of more than 2 km; the resort also has four lifts. These details apply to this ski area. As operating arrangements can change, check the latest details for your planned ski day before you visit.
Summer activities and getting there
As a summer attraction in Ramzová, “Horské minikáry a summer tubing Ramzová” has a 380 m surface lift and an 855 m track. These two measurements give you an idea of the size of the facility.

There are also specific points of reference for getting there and finding your way around: the Moravská stezka runs through Ostružná. Cyclists can travel to Ostružná by train with their bikes. Ramzová, a district of Ostružná, is also home to the highest-altitude express train station in the Czech Republic.
