Educational trail Lysohorský bestiář, Educational trail in Malenovice and Ostravice, Czech Republic.
The Educational trail Lysohorský bestiář is a hiking route with 15 information stations spread across about 17 kilometers of mountain terrain. The route splits into two branches that rejoin at Lukšinec ridge, with both access points reachable from the Na Konečné parking area.
The trail was created after an older route from Shance Dam to the summit was removed in 2007. The new path with metal figures represents a modern interpretation of the wildlife that defines the region.
The metal animal sculptures along the route show creatures from the region and link to local metalworking traditions while teaching about wildlife. These artworks blend with the landscape and invite visitors to think about the animals that inhabit these mountains.
The route starts from parking areas at Na Konečné in Ostravice or Malenovice and leads through forested mountain terrain with well-marked paths. Sturdy shoes are recommended, and the best season for hiking is from May to October when weather is stable.
The route passes by natural landmarks such as the Ondrášovy díry rock formations and the Vodopády Satiny waterfalls. Along the way you also reach the highest peak of the Moravian-Silesian Beskids with sweeping views across the entire region.
