The village of Malenovice was founded at the beginning of 17^th century by Jan Bruntálský. The village was called Malinov (raspberry village) according to a huge quantity of raspberries that grew in this area. Iron ore was mined here in the period from 1799 to 1894. Mining activities were stopped in 1895. Already for several decades Malenovice is a synonym for tourism. There is a dense network of marked tourist paths for pedestrian and cyclists that frequently visit the highest top of Beskydy mountains - Lysá Hora. Local slopes equipped with ski lifts, artificial snowing devices and lighting for night downhill skiing are frequently searched for in the winter period. Pleasant atmosphere of the mountain village is a paradise for the locals as well as those that come to seek only rest. As the name of the village implies, it is a favourite destination of the lovers of forest products and mushroom pickers.
