[CZ] Od vodní kaple nahoru ke kostelu místo cesty, která dríve protínala valy vede nyní široké schodište, rozdelené železným zábradlím na dve cásti pro výstup a sestup. Podnet k této stavbe dál bývalý predseda Matice svatohostýnské, lékárník Harna z Kromeríže v roce 1909. 221 schodu pískovcových vylomeno bylo na Cernave za Hostýnem a ostatních 29 je že slezské žuly. Celkem stala stavba schodu 40 tisíc korun, které byly z vetší cásti uhrazeny milodary. Kdo chtel si zakoupiti jeden schod, složil 100 K a jeho jméno bylo pak vytesáno do kamene na vecnou pamet. Vecnou? Nikoliv! Zub casu snaží se usilovne zahladiti stopy lidské ješitnosti, takže vetšina jmen je už málo citelná.

[EN] From the water chapel up to the church, instead of the path that used to cross the ramparts, there is now a wide staircase, divided by an iron railing into two parts for ascent and descent. The impetus for this construction was the former chairman of Matica svatohostýnská, the pharmacist Harna z Kromeríže in 1909. 221 steps of sandstone were broken at Cernava behind Hostýn and the other 29 were Silesian granites. In total, the construction of the staircase cost 40,000 crowns, most of which were paid for by charity. Whoever wanted to buy one step, folded 100 K and his name was then carved in stone in memory. Material? Not! The tooth of time tries hard to erase traces of human vanity, so most names are no longer sensitive.
number of stairs (minimum 60): 250.00

stair landing (check if yes): yes
