Surrounded by the first ridges of the Jeseníky Mountains, Šumperk has earned its local title as the "Gate to the Jeseníky" through centuries of serving as the principal access point to one of Moravia's most prominent mountain ranges. Around 29,000 people live in this Olomouc Region town, which grew during the nineteenth century on the back of textile manufacturing - a sector that shaped both the town's economy and its architectural character. Remnants of the textile era remain visible in converted factory buildings along the Desná River. The town square, flanked by Renaissance and baroque facades, sits at the heart of the original settlement and still functions as the commercial centre.
Velké Losiny, a short drive north, draws visitors to its thermal pool complex and to a Renaissance paper mill that has operated since 1596, producing handmade paper using methods largely unchanged over four centuries. Companion providers serve the Šumperk region, and accommodation near the main square or along the road toward the Jeseníky resorts is available for those visiting.

The narrow-gauge railway running from Šumperk through the mountain valleys toward Kouty nad Desnou has operated since 1904 and provides one of the few remaining narrow-gauge passenger services in the country. In winter, the Jeseníky ski resorts at Červenohorské sedlo and Ramzová draw skiers from across Moravia, and Šumperk functions as the last major supply stop before the mountain roads climb above 800 metres.
