Landek National Nature Reserve

A number of plans will be implemented at the Landek site. The oldest near-natural forests will be left to develop naturally (with the exception of the removal of non-indigenous species, especially black locust trees and red oaks) as an example of a dynamically changing forest ecosystem in the middle of the Ostrava industrial conurbation. The remaining parts of the site will be gradually replanted in accordance with the site development plans, to create natural and near-natural woodland communities.

The aim is to create a model site combining nature conservation with leisure use, located in close proximity to the Ostrava conurbation. In 1998 a viewing tower was built at Landek. The first step in the future plans for the site will be the modernization of the nature trail depicting the historical development and current natural value of Landek.
