The Lipník nad Bečvou division manages five hunting districts, the largest being Libavá, which covers the entire military training area. The territory with a population density of 3 people per square kilometre represents an ideal area for deer farming. The hunting district consists of the plateau of the Oder Hills, lined with steep slopes dipping to the Moravian Gate, the Haná region and the valley of the Bystřice river. The game living here includes mouflon, fallow deer, roe deer and wild boar. Within the Natura 2000 programme, the entire hunting district has been declared a Bird Area, due to the priority protection of the corncrake (Crex crex). The last population of black grouse in Moravia can be found on the plateau. The golden eagle has been nesting successfully in the southern, hilly part of the hunting district since 2013.

The division’s second major hunting district is the game park north of Bruntál, sloping down to the Opava river. It is a forest habitat where red deer, roe deer and wild boar can be found.

The smaller Haštovice game park is made up of a forest area on the border of the Zlín and Moravian-Silesian regions between Valašské Meziříčí and Hodslavice. It is a hunting district with a constant population of roe deer and local occurrence of wild boar. In 2013 the presence of a young bear was repeatedly recorded.

The fourth hunting district of the Lipnice division is Dětřichov, at the foot of the highest peak of the Low Jeseník – Slunečná. With regard to game, roe deer occurs here, and red deer and wild boar migrate through the area. A quarter of the last hunting district, Bochoř, with a total area of 800 ha, is formed by bottomland forests and fields in the Haná region, southwest of Přerov. This is a hunting district with the occurrence of roe deer; small game – hare and pheasant – is normalized. Over an area of 105 ha, a pheasantry has been recognized as part of the hunting district.

Hunting districts

The Oder Hills are one of the most picturesque sites of the Lower Jeseník. Their territory is crossed by the watershed of the Danube and the Oder, which also rises directly in the Libavá military training area. However, tourism in the area is affected by intensive training by the Czech army and NATO troops, which usually makes it only possible for the public to visit the area during weekends and public holidays. In addition to weekend access on hiking trails, however the Libavá military training area is annually regularly opened to the public as part of an event called Bílý kámen (White Stone).

Tips

Visit the source of the Oder river
(All trails are accessible without permission only on Saturdays, Sundays and public holidays.)

The Libavá military training area in the Oder Hills is the source of one of two European rivers in the Czech Republic. While the Krkonoše source of the first one, the Elbe, is one of the busiest tourist destinations, the Oder river doesn’t attract much interest.
The source can be reached along the red tourist trail leading from the bus stop in Dolní Újezd near Lipník nad Bečvou. A shorter option is a journey by car to Kozlov in the military training area, where you can leave your car in the car park at the barracks and follow the trail to the source, just a few hundred metres away. The spring can be found on a peat meadow surrounded by spruce forest, in a shallow saddle at an altitude of 633 m, between the Křížová mountain and the Fidlův hill.
On the site of the spring is a small wooden shed with benches serving as shelter from bad weather, which is a relatively frequent phenomenon in the local harsh climate (the average annual temperature is 6 degrees, average annual rainfall is 800 mm). It is interesting that this place was not discovered as the source of the Oder until 1715, and the great river had been thought to originate in other locations.

The Lipník nad Bečvou division manages 55.70 ha of water areas, consisting of 25 farm ponds, covering an area of 32.2 hectares, and salmonid and non-salmonid fishing districts, covering an area of 23.50 ha. The average annual fish production from farm ponds is around 15,000 kg of fish, mostly carp. As additional fish, grass carp, pike, zander, silver carp and tench are bred. About 2,200 kg of fish are produced annually by the fisheries. Apart from fish farming, all the reservoirs also fulfil fire prevention, retention and landscaping functions.

Sport fishing
The Lipník nad Bečvou division enforces fishing law in the following fishing districts: Ranošov, Lichnička 1, Odra 9, Odra 10 A, Odra 10 B, Odra 10 C and Odra 10 D. The Ranošov fishing district is formed by the pond of the same name, with an area of ​​0.9 ha. The Lichnička 1 district consists of the Hadovec, Velká Střelná and Bunkry ponds, with an area of ​​1.55 ha. The Odra 10 B district consists of the Karlák and Kovářov ponds, with an area of ​​1.65 ha. The Odra 10 C district consists of the Upper Smilov and Lower Smilov ponds, with an area of ​​5.5 ha, and the Odra 10 D district consists of the Upper Heroltovice and Lower Heroltovice ponds, with an area of ​​0.55 ha. These are non-salmonid waters. The Odra 9 and Odra 10 districts are salmonid waters, formed by the Oder river, with a total length of 30 km, and adjacent streams. All the districts are located in the Libavá military training area, and fishing is limited due to military training.
Fishing is governed by the applicable fishing regulations of the Lipník nad Bečvou division of VLS ČR, s. p.
