Where to go: Mionší primeval forest
Recently re-opened natural trail Mionší goes along the edge of the Mionší forest and is allegedly the most beautiful and elaborate natural trail in Beskydy mountain range. We recommend following this trail to any one of our clients who look for interesting spots in the environs of the hotel.
Mionší natural trail
The Mionší forest if one of the most well-preserved areas in the Moravian part of the Western Carpathian Mountains. After 16 years the trail is open again, offering nature lovers rich experiences. In the national natural reserve Mionší around 110 species of vertebrates are found and it is at the same time the most important mycological locality in the Czech Republic. An abundance of underbush, small meadows, spring areas and rocks is to be found here.
The natural trail acquaints one with the original dwellers of the mountains – rare species and animals. One finds out here what the difference between a commercial and natural forest is. A visitor reveals why was this area progressively being settled and why has Mionší been protected from humans for more than 100 years.
The natural train is approximately 7 kilometres long and offers 10 signboards. The goal of the natural trail is to point out to the visitors the beauties of the local primeval forest.
