Ostrov: Hotels and accommodations

Near Ostrov and Rudoltice, the U Kaštánku Natural Monument is located in the cadastral area of Ostrov u Lanškrouna. The 22.64-hectare protected area is a protected mosaic of alder, birch and willow stands, reed beds, purple moor-grass and sedge meadows, streams, springs, pools and, in some places, managed meadows. Its protection objectives include, in particular, protecting the habitats of specially protected plant and animal species, as well as the comprehensive protection of aquatic, wetland and meadow communities.

Another landscape axis is formed by the Lanškrounské rybníky. The pond system stretches from Lanškroun to the southeastern edge of Ostrov. The Lanškrounské rybníky educational trail leads through a nature park with a pond system consisting of seven ponds: Krátký, Dlouhý, Olšový, Pšeničkův, Slunečný, Ostrovský 1 and Ostrovský 2. The earliest documented reference to the beginnings of fish farming at the Lanškrounské rybníky dates from 1433.

The first written mention of Ostrov dates from 1292. In Ostrov, in the cadastral area of Ostrov u Lanškrouna, there is the branch church of St. Nicholas the Bishop, which formerly served as a parish church. Outside the holiday season, Sunday services are scheduled there every other week.
