Radhošť

Radhošť

The mountain, rising to 1,129 metres above sea level, is often connected with the Pagan god Radegast. Before 1735, the mountain was the venue of the summer solstice ritual. Since the 1960s the mountain has been the destination point of Constantine and Methodius pilgrimages. The mountain top is adorned with two works of art. A group of statues of Constantine and Methodius (in front of the chapel bearing their names), and the statue of the Pagan god Radegast. The Radhošť peak (1,129 m above sea level) is located 4 km from the mountain saddle of Pustevny. Radhošť peak is barren and offers one of the most beautiful panoramic vistas of the Beskydy skyline, the Vsetínské vrchy hills, Javorníky, Little Fatra and the Western Tatras. The numerous rock fissures and underground caves conjure up ideas of super-natural beings. One of the most famous caves, called Volařka, is located on the slope of the ridge about 200 m south of the peak by the road to Rožnov pod Radhoštěm. This cave is 2 m wide and 3 m deep. Radhošť is a tourist attraction crossed by many different tourist paths. Radhošť is a symbolic mountain The attraction is located at the border of the Frenštát pod Radhoštěm and Trojanovice districts. The new Skies of the Beskydy education trail includes an almost 100 m long footbridge at a height of nearly 16 metres. Thus, people can explore nature amongst the treetops. The hanging structure in the Horečky locality above the Vlčák stream gorge will especially entertain families with children. The six stops will introduce the life of the birds inhabiting the surrounding trees. While the three-kilometre-long educational trail is accessible year-round, the 85-metre-long “sky walk” can only be used in the summer season.The area is interlaced with various legends and myths. See, for example, the well-known legend of the orphan of Radhošť.

Our Slavonic ancestors used this cult place for their rituals, which were aimed at winning favour of Radegast, god of harvest, herds and hospitality. In 1862, 15,000 people manifested their adherence to the rights of the nation atop Radhošť. From here, one of the cornerstones of the National Theatre was solemnly removed and transported to Prague. Since 1898, the peak bears the pilgrimage Chapel of Constantine and Methodius, with a reproduction of the painting of the Wallachian Madonna by A. Libscher, and a cross with the statues of Constantine and Methodius by A. Polášek from 1931. The statue of Radegast, the Pagan god of the Slavs, can be found about 2 km east, on the ridge, in the direction towards Pustevny. The statue is also a work by sculptor Albín Polášek. The statue was created in the United States in 1930 and transported to Frenštát pod Radhoštěm in July 1931, from where a horse and cart brought it up to Radhošť on the occasion of a Slavonic pilgrimage. The peak later became the site of a TV transformer, slightly destroying the picturesque appearance of Radhošť, but today forming an integral part of it. Accessible on foot or by mountain bike.
