''' Liptaň''' ({{lang-de|Liebenthal}}) is a village and municipality in [[Bruntál District]] in the [[Moravian-Silesian Region]] of the [[Czech Republic]]. <!-- The municipality covers an area of km² and as of 2006 it had a population of .--->


==Administrative parts==
Liptaň municipality lies in the centre of Osoblažsko region by the narrow-gauge railway. It is probably the most attractive municipality of the region due to its location in the narrow, steep Liptaň stream valley and well kept village character with the dominating feature of the neo-gothic church. Maybe that’s the reason for the original German name of „Liebenthal“ (free translation of „lovely valley“). The first mention of Liptaň is from 1256 and currently has a population of 476.
The villages of Bučávka and Horní Povelice are administrative parts of Liptaň.


==Geography==
The dominating feature of the village is the '''parish Church of the Virgin Mary''' built of red bricks in neo-gothic style in 1866-1870. Valuable interior shows the decor has been preserved in a uniform style. Visitors shouldn’t miss '''the former police station of National Guards Defense''' (NGD, Building No. 261) where six NGD members were [[Sudetendeutsches Freikorps#Terrorism|shot down by fanatic Germans in dramatic circumstances in 1938]]. Commemorating this event there is a memorial plaque on the former police station building and a memorial to all victims of this incident (in 1988 the original plaque was replaced by World War I victims panel). The house No.240 is also worth to see as it is a very valuable monument representing the former Osoblažsko folk architecture. Every Friday in the village centre, at the municipality office the '''Drak Gallery''' can be visited. (Building No.149)
Liptaň is located about {{convert|28|km}} north of [[Bruntál]] and {{convert|62|km|abbr=on}} northwest of [[Ostrava]]. It is situated in the [[Osoblažsko]] microregion. It lies in the [[Opawskie Mountains|Zlatohorská Highlands]]. The highest point is the hill Kobyla at {{convert|574|m|ft|abbr=on}} above sea level, located on the southern municipal border.


South of the village of Liptaň is situated the nature monument ''Liptaňský bludný balvan'' with one of the largest [[glacial erratic]]s in the Czech Republic. Reminding of the period 250–800 thousand years ago, the boulder was carried there by a continental [[glacier]] from the south of [[Sweden]]. Its weight is about 4.7 tonnes.<ref>{{cite web |title=Liptaňský bludný balvan|url=https://www.kudyznudy.cz/aktivity/liptansky-bludny-balvan|publisher=CzechTourism|language=cs|access-date=2022-04-29}}</ref>
To the south of Liptaň along the blue marked hiking trail it is situated the natural monument of Liptaň '''glacier erratic boulder'''. Reminding of the period 250–800 years ago the boulder was carried there by a continental [[glacier]] from the south of Sweden. Measuring its weight of nearly 4.7 t it is one of the biggest [[erratic boulders]] in the Czech Republic. To the north of Liptaň on the top of Strážnice hill there is a '''viewing tower''' where tourists are all year round able to see the northern and eastern part of Osoblažsko region, Polish plains and the dominant Praděd mountain together with the summits of Jeseniky mountains to the west. The viewing tower is accessible by a marked path leaving the blue marked hiking trail. At the upper end of Liptaň just below the Strážný hill there is a '''ski lift'''.


==History==
Liptaň also consists of the local villages called Horní Povelice and Bučávka. They are both worth destinations to be visited as there are renovated chapels close to which the cycling services places were built. The village of '''Horní Povelice''' keeps the original village character without the disturbing influence of new buildings.
The first written mention of Liptaň is from 1256. It was founded around 1240. For most of its history, it was a [[fief]] of the [[Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Olomouc|Olomouc bishopric]] or it was administered directly by the Olomouc bishops.<ref name=history>{{cite web |title=Historie obce|url=https://www.liptan.cz/historie/historie-obce/|publisher=Obec Liptaň|language=cs|access-date=2022-04-29}}</ref>


The event known as the [[Liptaň Tragedy]] happened on 22 September 1938. [[Sudetendeutsches Freikorps|Radicalized German villagers]] attacked the gendarmerie station and disarmed and assassinated all six Czech members of the State Defense Guard. The gendarme officers' bodies were transported over the border to the German town [[Głubczyce|Leobschütz]] where they were buried in an unmarked mass grave.<ref>{{cite web |last=Kuba|first=František|title=Proč je hrob zastřelených obětí Liptaňské tragédie v Polsku?|url=https://bruntalsky.denik.cz/zpravy_region/liptan-liptanska-tragedie.html|publisher=Deník.cz|language=cs|access-date=2022-04-29}}</ref>
