Region Poodří

The unrestrained flow of the Odra River flows in the numerous meanders of the valley floodplain, which with its extensive meadows, floodplain forests, ponds and pools gives the impression that time has stopped here. Every visitor to the region thus has an incredible view of the natural gems of the Poodří region. The Odra River is a guide to this magical landscape that will delight the hearts of true lovers of nature, adventure, sports and relaxation. The Poodří protected landscape area, as the heart of the region, is a wetland of European importance protected by the Ramsar Convention. Locally, the region belongs to the Novojičín region, which is called the cultural treasury of Northern Moravia. A characteristic and landscape-significant element of Poodří are ponds, which have been mentioned as far back as the 15th century. The picturesqueness of the landscape is completed by vast meadows lined with heady willows and ancient oaks, streams, pools and lakes in the old branches of the Odra River.

The emergence of the Poodří Region

The foundation stone for the creation of the Nový Jičín district microregion was laid by the mayors of Bílova and Pustějova already in January 1999. During this period, the initiative of both municipalities was created, which culminated in an agreement and the creation of a free association of neighboring municipalities, namely Bartošovice, Bílova, Hladké Životice, Kujav and Pustějova . In February, the association of municipalities jointly joined the Rural Renewal Program and, according to subsidy title No. 7, applied for a subsidy to develop an integrated project of a rural microregion.

he Poodří region is located in the northern part of the Moravian Gate and the surrounding area in the Moravian-Silesian Region. The natural axis of the entire area is the valley floodplain of the Odra River.
