Ostravice River

The Ostravice River provides a refreshing green space within Ostrava City Center, a welcome contrast to the surrounding urban landscape. The riverbanks offer well-maintained paths suitable for walking, running, and cycling, extending approximately 3 km from Hradni Lavka bridge to Muglinovska bridge. Notable features include the Ostravice Bridge, a monument incorporating an old Soviet tank (Most Sykory), and Komenskeho Park. The northwest bank is particularly attractive, boasting a large green park and a more natural river flow. Canoe and boat rentals are available, and the area is popular with locals for recreation and relaxation.
