Starý Jičín between cycling routes, landscapes and a village museum
Starý Jičín combines cycling routes, landscapes and local history. For trip planning, the focus is on the routes of several cycling trails, the surrounding mountains and specific places in the town centre. The topics range from the long-distance cycling route “Jantarová stezka” and connections to Hukvaldy and Krnov to a museum with historical everyday objects. The town centre and the museum complement the route and landscape topics with specific architectural and everyday history.
Cycling routes with different route characteristics
Long-distance cycling route No. 5, “Jantarová stezka”, passes through Starý Jičín’s square. Its route through the central square establishes a specific connection to the town for route planning.
Cycling route No. 502 begins in Starý Jičín and leads to Hukvaldy. For this connection, Starý Jičín is the starting point and Hukvaldy the destination. The direction from the town to the destination is therefore defined for planning your own route.
Route 503 from Starý Jičín to Krnov is easy and moderately difficult in places. It runs along second- and third-class roads as well as local and dedicated roads and paths. The surfaces consist of asphalt or paved materials. The route is suitable for all types of bicycles. When preparing a cycling tour to Krnov, its classification as easy and moderately difficult in places, the types of roads and paths, the surface and the choice of bicycle type can be considered together.
