Lesopark Třinec

Lesopark Třinec is a nearly 24-hectare forest park sitting almost right in the heart of the city, a favourite spot for locals looking for a walk, a run, or simply some time among the trees at almost any time of year.

How big is the park and where can you enter it?

The park covers roughly 24 hectares of mixed forest, reachable through six separate entrances placed around its perimeter, so it's easy to get in from several different parts of town regardless of which neighbourhood you're coming from. Inside, about 4.5 kilometres of trails with a natural surface wind through the trees, suitable for both a relaxed stroll and a proper jog. Some of the paths cross small footbridges over streams running through the forest.

What is there for children and families?

The park has newly built children's playgrounds, alongside a so-called forest classroom — a space set up for outdoor education activities. Several spots throughout the park have been laid out as resting meadows with benches, giving visitors a shaded place to sit down. Many of the play and rest features have an artistic touch, so a walk with children here often mixes play with a bit of outdoor art.

What does the park offer for active visitors?

Lesopark Třinec is designed as a recreation area for all age groups and several kinds of activity. There's an outdoor forest gym with exercise equipment, and — in cooperation with the state forest administration Lesy ČR — a disc golf course. Fans of lawn games will find a pétanque court, and in-line skaters have a dedicated asphalt track. In winter, when conditions allow, a lit and maintained cross-country ski loop keeps the park active year-round. Bird feeders are placed throughout the woods, drawing birdlife especially in the colder months.

What is the Třinecký kamínkovník?

One of the park's distinctive features is the so-called Třinecký kamínkovník, a spot associated with painted and arranged stones that has become a recognisable landmark within the forest park and a popular stop on a walk, for locals and visitors alike.

Is the park still changing?

The city of Třinec has been steadily investing in the park's development. Funding has gone toward renewing the recreational areas, with further stages of work — new paths, seating areas, and small architectural features — carried out gradually over successive years. Local schools have also pitched in with upkeep and maintenance work, tying the park closer to the community.

Practical information

The park is open to everyone year-round, free of charge, and its infrastructure — benches, waste bins, orientation boards and trail markers — makes it easy to find your way around even for someone visiting Třinec for the first time.
