Přerov Protected Landscape Area offers a diverse natural environment with rolling hills, forested areas, and river valleys, providing excellent opportunities for hiking, cycling, and wildlife observation in eastern Moravia.
The Přerov Protected Landscape Area is located in the eastern part of the Czech Republic, primarily within the Olomouc Region. This landscape area covers a gently undulating terrain marked by mixed forests, meadows, streams, and patches of agricultural land. It serves as an important ecological region preserving habitats for many Central European species, including amphibians, birds, and mammals. The protected area stretches across a mosaic of hills and river floodplains, prominently along the Bečva river, which shapes much of the local landscape. Its mosaic of broadleaf and coniferous woods creates a habitat for a range of flora and fauna, including some rare and endangered species. The area has a rich cultural heritage with examples of traditional Moravian rural architecture and historical sites that reflect centuries of human interaction with the environment. Outdoor enthusiasts are drawn to the region for its network of trails suitable for hiking, mountain biking, and horseback riding. Birdwatchers come to witness various species in their natural habitat, while anglers enjoy fishing in the region's clean rivers and streams. Seasonal events and educational programs promote awareness of local biodiversity and encourage responsible nature recreation. The Přerov Protected Landscape Area is valued for its tranquil natural settings combined with its accessibility from nearby towns, making it a key outdoor destination in the Moravian landscape.
