Utilization of landscape and cultural values in the strategy of tourism development in the foothills of the Rychlebské Mountains

Vojtěch Starý, Tomáš Mašíček, Hana Vavrouchová

The foothills of the Rychlebské Mountains, together with the rest of the Jeseník district, are the scene of radical socio-economic changes which, after the end of World War II, shaped the region by expelling most of the original German population. After the suppression of economic activity of the population, which transformed the original forested form of the landscape into the agricultural and industrial stronghold of the First Republic, tangible and intangible heritage remained in the landscape referring to important milestones of our state, which, thanks to this article, will not be forgotten. In recent years, this area has met with increased interest from tourists. The aim of the article is to point out the forgotten cultural values associated with the defunct settlements and its original inhabitants. Against this background, a tourism development strategy can be built, which will help the distribution of tourist destinations in a wider area of interest and at the same time offer the potential for everyday relaxation and education.
