TIP FOR TRIP!!!
The challenge: 32 Beskydy Peaks
If you like hikes, motivate yourself with the challenge of overcoming 32 Beskydy peaks. You can find a list of these peaks here. The Ostrava Expat Center will provide you with tips for individual hikes in the Newsletter or on Facebook.
First will be the most known and mos favorite Lysá hora - the highest peak in Moravian - Silesian part of Beskydy. The easiest way (for direction, not for elevation) is from Ostravice village, where you follow the RED tourist sing. This sign will take you directly from train station to summit which takes 8 km and around 2 hours. You can take the same way downhill or you can do a loop. You can get easily to Ostravice by train which goes every hour from Ostrava with a change in Frýdlant nad Ostravicí. |

Times (and services) have changed
by Roberto Marshall, expat living in Ostrava
When you’ve lived your life in New York and then decide to settle in a foreign land, there are things you miss and there are things you can’t replace. Family, friends, the Atlantic coast with all its white, sandy beaches, nightlife, and that special energy only found in the city that never sleeps are just a few that come to mind and roll off the tongue when asked what I miss the most from back home. Right at the top of that list, as well, is a culinary experience that is almost impossible to match anywhere else in the world. With over 26,000 restaurants and over 5,000 new ones opening every year replacing the ones that can’t compete, and with a great appetite for both traditional and exotic dishes, my greatest challenge was always to decide what to eat that day. Granted, when I picked up and left for post-communist Czech Republic to reside with my Czech wife here in Ostrava, I had to mentally prepare myself for all the changes and, sadly, adapt to a restaurant culture much different than the irreplaceable one I had been accustomed to my entire life. Sure, comparing Ostrava to New York is not really fair play....read more.
