Štramberk is a small town in the Nový Jičín district of the Moravian-Silesian Region in eastern Czechia, about 7 km east of Nový Jičín and 28 km southwest of Ostrava in a straight line. It has about 3,500 residents and spreads over the steep slopes of several hills. The first written mention dates from 1211, when a village below the castle of the same name was recorded. The historic centre is well preserved and protected as an urban monument reservation, and its main landmark is the Trúba tower. The town is known for a traditional sweet called «Štramberk ears». Nearby is the Šipka cave, holding the oldest known trace of human presence in Czech territory. Small wooden and stone houses with red roofs pile up the green hillside, crowned by the round stone Trúba tower with its pointed roof on a wooded summit. Colourful houses line the main square, and hills and forests that turn colour in autumn surround the town. Visitors climb to the Trúba tower for views over the town and countryside to the Beskid mountains, wander the sloping lanes and try the local sweets. It makes a trip from Olomouc or Ostrava.
