The track starts in the city center, in front of the town hall. Then go through the train and bus station, waypoint 025. The first five kilometers are of urban environment, wandering around the outskirts of Opava, its urbanizations and then through Kylosevice, a town physically linked to Opava by the buildings and houses.
But once the urban environment is over, a beautiful stage begins. Virtually no asphalt and a lot of forest. In the following I learned that all this way was like that.
The following kilometers are along a bike lane, numbered 551, which I will walk to the end of the stage, but with many detours not accessible for bikes to enjoy the surroundings more.
Until the town of Hradec nad Moravici is about three or four kilometers very beautiful along the bike path next to the river. Very quiet and with good views.
When arriving at this town, you have to choose two alternatives: Go on the road to visit a church in Santiago, or follow the yellow signage that we take from Opava that takes us through the forest. I chose the second.
The yellow signage separates us from the bike lane and through an industrial zone first and then through a path on a steep climb leads us to a stop where there is a picnic table, waypoint 026 and a path in a quiet forest.
The descent follows the wooded path, until the forest ends and the road is very close to the town of Zimrovice, where my route joins the one that comes from Hradec nad Moravici and has passed through the church of Santiago.
In Zimrovice there are two restaurants to eat. I stopped at one of them, waypoint 027. I also saw that there were places to spend the night.
When we leave this town we enter the forest again and to Podhradi. Before I found a beach bar to have a drink at the point indicated at waypoint 028.
The track ends at the bus stop, waypoint 029, to return to Opava. In Podhradi I saw a pension but as I did not know I preferred not to risk and go back to sleep in Opava because there are enough buses to take it without problems.
