Option to connect to Trail C – The Pilgrimage of St. Jan Sarkander.

The Lords of Sovinec lived for several centuries in the local region and took their name from Sovinec Castle, but Sovinec was not their original home. Documents originally mentioned Huzová, which had been granted to them by Olomouc Bishop Konrád II.

Owls fly most where Pasecký Žlebend sand Údolí Sýčků begins. From Údolí Sýčků you can “fly”to Huzová Castle. From here head toward Sovinec. From Sovinec it is a short trip to Jiříkov and the Praděd Gardens, and when you’re already there you can visit local Hutov.

Rešov Falls follow, where you can transfer to Trail B – Flight on a Witch’s Broomstick. Above the falls is the famous pilgrimage site Ruda with a unique Calvary. Below Ruda is Dlouhá Loučka with two chateaux; from here a road leads back to Paseka or to Uničov, on Trail C – The Pilgrimage of St. Jan Sarkander.
