Nature Trails Around Rožnov: Tips for Families

When you do not want a demanding hike but still feel like getting outside, nature trails are ideal. Children enjoy the boards and stops, adults relish the calm of the forest, and it all fits into half a day. We have a few around Rožnov, and from our guesthouse you can set off for them practically right away. Here is an overview.

Why choose a nature trail?

Nature trails are a compromise between a walk and a trip — shorter, easy and full of stops where you naturally take a break.

• Suitable for families with children as well as grandparents.
• Information boards about nature, history and local points of interest.
• Often interactive features that keep children entertained.
• Ideal as a programme on partly cloudy days or when you do not want to go far.

Nature trails right around Rožnov

Several routes lead from Rožnov through the forests and hills in the town’s immediate surroundings. Some starting points are literally within walking distance of Penzion Anděl.

• Loops in the forests above town with views into the Bečva valley.
• Routes linked with the Wallachian Open-Air Museum, so you can easily combine the trip with a visit to the museum.
• Shorter walking loops, roughly 2–6 km, mostly without much elevation gain.

Check the specific waymarking and current trail conditions on the local info boards or at the information centre.

Themed trails at Pustevny

A short way from Rožnov, at Pustevny, you will find themed and nature trails aimed mainly at families. From the guesthouse it is roughly 30 minutes by car to the car park below Pustevny.

• Routes along the ridge with views and stops.
• Children like the mix of fairy-tale and nature motifs.
• The cable car from Trojanovice can shorten the trip when you are out with the youngest.

Tips to make the trip work with children too

• Set off in the morning — children tend to tire in the afternoon and the car parks get fuller.
• Pack a snack and drinks; the trails do not have refreshments at every step.
• For a pushchair, choose flat, surfaced loops and check the terrain in advance.
• Count on frequent stops at the boards — that is exactly the point.

Combine the trip with a stay in Rožnov

We have both the nature trails and the open-air museum within reach of the guesthouse, so you can easily combine them into an easygoing family day. After your walk you can stay in our rooms, have a homemade cake in the café and warm up in the evening in the private sauna.
