Beskydy Protected Landscape Area

The protected area spans 1,160 square kilometers across the Moravian-Silesian region, featuring mountains, dense forests, valleys, and numerous mountain streams.

The landscape protection zone, established in 1973, preserves territories of the Outer Western Carpathians, including the Moravian-Silesian Beskids and Hostýn-Vsetín Mountains.

Wooden churches and traditional mountain settlements reflect the regional architecture, while local customs continue through generations in surrounding villages.

Visitors access the reserve through marked trails starting from towns like Frýdlant nad Ostravicí, offering opportunities for hiking, skiing, and mountain biking.

The territory supports populations of large carnivores, including bears, wolves, and lynx, which migrate naturally between Czech Republic and Slovakia.
