NS Ekostezka Lesná (Lesná Ecological Trail)

Circular ET begins at the Lesná tram terminus.

This circular ET is designated by classic green and white markers. Eleven info panels present information about the history and biology of this settlement with more than 16,000 people. Lesná was first designed as a model large settlement in 1961 by architects František Zounek and Viktor Rudiš at a former military training grounds. In contrast to later settlements, they left more space among the buildings for wildlife, and so naturalists have recorded 75 bird species in Lesná. The trail runs through Čertova rokle (Devil’s Gorge), which has centennial trees and a renovated amphitheatre. The trail ends at the Church of Blessed Mary Restituta.
