About 2km from Pustevny is the summit of Mount Radhost. At the summit there is a sculpture of Radegast (pagan god of war and a few other things) - legend says that this mountain is his home. Near the sculpture you can buy a beer to refresh yourself after the climb.
Further along the hike, there will be a wooden church and another sculpture dedicated to St. Cyril and St. Methodius who supposedly knocked down a statue of Radegast centures ago and erected a cross instead.
There are amazing views along the way (of the Beskids).
Know Before You Go
Unfortunately, I don't remember how we got there. I was on a bus trip from Olomouc. It's quite a hike up the mountain to the Radegast statue, but worth it.
The hike starts from here:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pustevny
