Cycling day trip from Staré Město to Ostravice

Set off from Staré Město, a charming Moravian town near the city of Frýdek-Místek, and roll south through the picturesque foothills of the Beskydy mountains. This 22 km ride towards Ostravice will have you gliding along a mix of cycleways and quiet roads—perfect for those who like their cycling with a side of peace and greenery. The route is mostly flat with a gentle climb of around 164 meters, so it won’t leave your legs burning, but you’ll still earn your views of the lush countryside.

You’ll pass through open fields and shady forests (with nearly three-quarters of the way’s surface a mystery—expect some surprises, but most of it’s paved or good-quality asphalt). After a couple of hours in the saddle, you’ll roll into Ostravice, a gateway village to the Beskydy National Park—ideal for hikers, bikers, and anyone keen on exploring the Czech outdoors.

Bring a snack, and don’t be afraid to stop and appreciate the local scenery along the way!
