A small mountain town Stramberk is called Moravian Bethlehem for its picturesqueness. A dominant feature of both town and environs are the ruins of the Castle Strallenberg with its cylindrical tower Truba. Unique in its architecture is a set of Wallachian timbered cottages from the 18th and 19th century, now most of these are under urban conservation. Another famous feature of the town are the so called Stramberk´s ears, a certain type of ginger snack, shaped like ears. In memory of a legendary victory by the Christians of Stramberk over the Mongolian army on May 8, 1241, the day of the Ascension of Christ.
