EDITORS COMMENTS
Vrbno pod Pradedem, also known as Wurbenthal, is a charming historical town nestled in the picturesque valley of the Opava River in the Moravian-Silesian Region of the Czech Republic. The town's name derives from the Slavic words "vrbna" meaning willow and "pod Pradedem" meaning under the Praděd mountain. Established in the late 13th century, Vrbno pod Pradedem has a rich and intriguing history. It was once part of the Duchy of Opava and played an important role in the Silesian Wars between Poland and Austria. During the late 19th century, the town underwent significant development, with the construction of new buildings and the expansion of its textile industry. This photograph, taken in the early 1900s, captures the beauty and tranquility of Vrbno pod Pradedem during the Czechoslovakian era. The town is surrounded by the rolling Silesian hills, with the Opava River meandering through the valley. The quaint houses, adorned with colorful facades and traditional roofs, are a testament to the town's rich history and cultural heritage. The town's location on the Opava River made it an important trading center, with goods being transported along the river to other parts of Europe. Today, Vrbno pod Pradedem remains an attractive destination for tourists, who come to explore its historical sites, picturesque streets, and stunning natural beauty.
