The path up Bílá hora starts north of the main square and passes through a
stone gate inscribed 'Cuius Regio - Eius Religio - 1111' ('Whose Place - His
Place - 1111'). On the slopes are the remains of the Gothic castle walls; climb
the 166 steps up the tower.
If you happen to catch a rainy day here, there are two museums on the
square. The Štramberk Museum ( 556 852 284; www.muzeum.novy-ji-
cin.cz ; náměstí 31; adult/concession 50/20Kč; 9am-noon & 1-5pm Tue-Sun) focuses on
local archaeology, folk furniture and art. The Museum Zdeňka Buriana (
