The Hostýnské vrchy (German Hosteiner Berge ) are a mountain range of the West Beskids in the Czech Republic .
They extend east of the town of Holešov and south of the towns of Bystřice pod Hostýnem and Valašské Meziříčí in Eastern Moravia. The Beskydy Foothills (Podbeskydská pahorkatina) and the Moravian Gate , through which the Bečva flows, connect to the north, and the Rosenauer Depression from the Moravian-Silesian Beskids to the northeast . The valley of the Vsetínská Bečva forms the natural border with the Vsetínské vrchy in the east . To the southeast the ridge meets the Javorníky . To the south it goes over the Freistadtler Valley ( Fryštácká brázda ) into theVizovice highlands over. The March plain begins to the west of the Hostýnské vrchy .
The mountain range has an area of 291 km² and is largely forested. The highest point is the Kelčský Javorník with 864 m nm . Better known is the pilgrimage mountain Hostýn ( Hostein , 735 m ), from which the name of the mountain is derived.
The Hostein Mountains are divided into four sub-units, the Hoštaľkovská vrchovina, Liptálské hřbety, Lukovská vrchovina and Rusavská hornatina.
The most important cities are Bystřice pod Hostýnem , Fryšták , Holešov , Valašské Meziříčí and Vsetín .
The mountains are drained in the west by the Rusava and Dřevnice ; in the north by the Moštěnka and Bystřička , which flow to the March . The Juhyně in the north feeds its water to the Bečva , as does the Rokytenka and Vsetínská Bečva in the east.
