Giro veloce in bici da Ostrava a Jistebník

Ready for a scenic spin out of the city? Start your ride in Ostrava, the lively industrial hub of northeast Czechia known for its art scene and reimagined steelworks. Soon you’ll leave the bustle behind, rolling southwest for almost 20 km toward sleepy Jistebník, a village famous for its lakes and as a haven for birdwatchers.

The journey is mostly flat and friendly, with just a gentle 77 meters of climbing—so you can save your legs for whatever’s next. The route keeps things interesting: just under half the ride uses quiet roads, while dedicated cycle paths and a bit of gravel promise a mix of surfaces. Keep an eye out for country views, especially as you get closer to Jistebník and its protected wetland landscapes.

Expect a good balance between paved and unpaved stretches, and maybe a few bumpy patches—nothing a hybrid or sturdy road bike can’t handle. Pack some water, enjoy the fresh air, and treat yourself to a break by one of Jistebník’s tranquil ponds before heading back. Perfect for a half-day cycling escape!
