Písek U Jablunkova

Písek U Jablunkova brings several travel experiences together in a compact area: cycling routes pass through the town, the Plenisko Nature Reserve features primeval-forest-like woodland, and the Olše creates a natural riverside landscape.

Cycling Routes through Písek

Cycle Route 56 Bukovec–Bohumín runs through Písek and is part of the Krakow–Moravia–Vienna Greenway here. This gives the town a connection that places Písek within a larger Central European cycling network. Another option is Cycle Route 10 Olše, which runs from Bukovec via Písek to Chotěbuz. Those wishing to combine different routes will also find the junction of Cycle Route 6086 and Route 56 in the center of Písek.

The themed educational cycling trail “In the Footsteps of Metallurgy” offers a distinct perspective. It runs along the Polish border to Nýdek, then crosses the ridges of the eastern Těšínské Beskydy with beautiful views before reaching Písek. This allows you to choose your base according to the experience you are seeking: the focus can be a longer route near the border, the connection along the Olše, or the ridges and viewpoints of the Beskydy region.

Plenisko and the Landscape of the Slezské Beskydy

Plenisko is a nature reserve in the cadastral area of Písek u Jablunkova. The area contains numerous wet spots and the headwaters of the Bystrý stream. Under a 1998 regulation, the reserve protects natural, primeval-forest-like woodland with a gene pool of native firs, beeches, spruces and sycamore maples. This precise composition makes Plenisko a distinctive natural attraction that goes beyond an ordinary forest landscape.

The northeastern part of Písek lies within the Slezské Beskydy Landscape Area. This natural setting is complemented by the Olše river corridor near Písek, which has been included in the Natura 2000 network as a European Site of Community Importance. The section of the Olše has a predominantly stony to gravelly riverbed, frequent gravel deposits and a largely unmodified riverbed. For travel planning, this creates a clear contrast between protected woodland, mountain scenery and an open river corridor.

Churches and Regional Character

Local culture can also be part of your exploration of Písek. The new church of the Evangelical congregation in Písek u Jablunkova was completed in 2010 and is considered architecturally very interesting. Písek also has a branch church with a simple structure, a sacristy and rooms for congregation members. Its tower is made of concrete and holds a bell; the ceremonial consecration took place on September 24, 1995.

Písek u Jablunkova is also associated with a local Goral dialect. Together with the churches, cycling routes and protected areas, this creates a townscape shaped not only by the landscape but also by regional language and architecture.
