You can visit the Poodří Preserve on your way to NATO Days
NATO Days take place very close to the Poodří Preserve, boundaries of which lie on the road between Albrechtičky and Petřvaldík villages. Visitors of NATO Days in Ostrava & Czech Air Force Days can enjoy the way to or from the event with having a walk in beautiful nature.
The Poodří Preserve offers beautiful looks on meanders of the Odra River, ponds with many species of birds and vast meadows with occasional trees and bosques. In a part of the hiking trail between Studénka and Albrechtičky the members of the Poodří Preserve (CHKO) Guard of the Nature will be educating the visitors about interesting facts about the preserve. Their task is to provide them information about the preserve and also to respond to the travellers’ questions. Do not hesitate to ask! Their next task is to advice pedestrians and cyclists how to behave in the preserve.

It is possible to get to NATO Days in Ostrava & Czech Air Force Days from two directions using marked hiking trails, both suitable for pedestrians and cyclists. A yellow trail leads from the trail crossroads near Studénka train station across another crossroads at Odérská lávka straight to the village of Albrechtičky (together with the blue marked trail). The trail is approx. 4 km long. A blue trail leads from the direction of Ostrava from the Jistebník train station to the crossroads at Oderská lávka. From there on you can continue on the yellow trail to the village of Albrechtičky. The trail is approx. 10 kilometres long.
Geocaching fans can enjoy the “20 years of the Poodří Preserve” geocache trail on the way to or from the event. Those who want to geocache, can start at Jistebník train station and then follow a planned route. Then they have to fulfil some easy tasks to get indication necessary to count the coordinates with cache. The cache is hidden next the airport, very close to the NATO Days in Ostrava venue. The geocache trail is 12 kilometres long.
If you use the longer trail - the blue trail – it will lead around the Bažantula natural reservation and then around other ponds. You can watch water birds and water plants on the ponds’ surface. The yellow trail will lead you through the Odra River valley across meadows to the Odra River, which you cross on so called Oderská lávka.
If you wish, you can digress from the yellow trail and join the educational trail across the Kotvice natural reservation, which will give you information about this area and its value. You can watch water birds at ponds, a resting area for cormorants or heron nesting area. This trail to Nová Horka and then back to the Oderská lávka is 5 kilometres long.
