Lipnik nad Bečvou - Square - náměstí T. G. Masaryka 01 ultrawide

            Lipník is an ancient town with 8.5 thousand inhabitants, situated in the very heart of the Moravian Gate. One side of this ancient trade route is lined by the Hostýn Hills, the other one by the Oder Hills. The Moravian Gate Valley is passed by the Bečva River. In the past, an important trade route, called Amber Trail, passed here.

The first written mention of Lipník dates from the year 1238, the town itself is certainly much older. Since 1989, Lipník is an urban conservation area (there are only two conservation areas within the Olomouc Region - Olomouc and Lipník). There are more than 100 listed buildings. The town has retained its original street lines, historic buildings in the medieval core and to a large extent very remarkable fortification system, which still bears all the signs of ancient settlements – a dominant square in the centre, „star-type“ road system and bypass roads. To a large extent, it has preserved the original historic town´s layout.

From this point of view, the urban conservation area of Lipník can be considered as one of the most valuable towns in the country according to unofficial categorization. There is also a medieval Helfštýn Castle near the town, which is one of the largest castles in Central Europe. In recent years, the renowned international artist blacksmith meetings Hefaiston take place at the end of August. In addition, it hosts many other cultural and sports events.

The wider surroundings of the town have become an attractive destination for cyclists, riding on the Bečva and Amber Route biking trails. Some sections are also attractive for in-line skaters.
