The Odra River Border Meanders

The Odra River Border Meanders is an area encompassing part of the Odra Valley along the Polish and Czech border from the Chałupki bridge to the mouth of the Olza River into the Odra River.

It is a naturally meandering river fragment; its riverside contains fragments of riparian forests, willow thickets, reeds and wet meadows. In 2009, it was included in a special Natura 2000 habitat protection area under the name "Odra Border Meander".

Two educational paths run through the area - one on the Czech side of the border and the other on the Polish side. The best view onto the Odra Border Meanders is from the river itself. It is possible to paddle along the Odra River from Starý Bohumín (Czech Republic) to Zabełków making use of the kayak rental. And since 2018 you can admire the meanderings from above, as nearby on the Polish side, a 27-metre-high observation tower was built.
