Poodří – Moravian Kravařsko Area

The River Odra flows through this region, a waterway that has retained its natural character with many plains, meanders, ponds and branches leading nowhere. More than a quarter of the area is taken up by the area around the River Odra, including one of the most recently created protected areas in the country, a well-preserved landscape with the meandering river at its heart, surrounded by alluvial forest, wetlands and almost 60 lakes.

The region is crisscrossed with marked hiking and cycling trails, and the Amber Way and Greenways Krakov-Moravia-Vienna cycle path traverse the area. Of the region’s historical sights, be sure not to miss Kunín Chateau or the towns of Fulnek and Bílovec. In Vražné-Hynčice you will find the birthplace of J. G. Mendel, generally regarded as the father of modern genetics. The chateau in Studénka is home to a Rolling Stock Museum, popular among all railway and engineering buffs.
 
Kunín Chateau – This Baroque residence was constructed by the architect Hildebrandt. At the turn of the 18th century countess Marie Walburga Harrachová set up one of the most advanced educational institutes in all central Europe – one of its pupils was the historian, František Palacký.
 
HEI park Tošovice – At this recreation and sports complex near the Oderské Hills you can look forward to a year-round bobsleigh run, a hotel and a restaurant. There’s also a summer rope centre, cyclocross track, trampolines and swimming; in winter a ski resort, snowtubing and a snowboard-park take over. In nearby Odry you’ll find a summer swimming area with a water slide.
