Park Boženy Němcové Park
The Božena German Park in Fryštát, part of Karviné in the Moravian-Silesian Region, is among the most important urban areas in the region. The area of 0.36 km ² is the largest park in Karviné and since 1992 it has been bearing the status of cultural monument of the Czech Republic. He received his name in honour of Czech writer Božena German, who lived between 1820 and 1862. The park is located in the lowland of the Ostrava Basin and is part of the urban landmark zone Karviná, which flows through the artificial Mlyn stream, the tributary of the Olše river.
The original Castle Park was founded in 1804, shortly after the Empire reconstruction of the local castle Fryštát. His creators were inspired by the English style, which at that time was very popular among Europe nobles. Rare tree alleys were preserved from the time the park was created - especially the alley of lip and chestnut alleys - as well as individual trees-solitaries. Among the most valuable are the platinum and ash, both protected as cultural monuments. The park in the 19th century served its original purpose with rich equipment: there was a range of hunting, horticulture, dairy, laundry, spa and two recreational facilities - the summer castle and gazebo. In the field there were hunts, including an important act in 1877, when Austrian Crown Prince Rudolf was introduced here.
The botany of the park is very diverse. In addition to the mentioned lips and chestnuts, there are more rare species such as black pine, Japanese marlin or tulip lilies. The landscape is characterized by the rotation of scaffold areas with open meadows and water elements - lake in the western part of the park, which follows the historical function.
Today the park offers visitors a wide range of possibilities. The tax industry functions as a popular zookouk with a look for tax, deer and birds. The summer house was converted into a restaurant. Visitors can see Larisch's gazebo, fountain with statue putti with dolphin (copy), family tomb Larisch-Mönnich family and children's playground with Slavic castle style. The area also includes historical buildings - castle horse-house, dairy, lake shipyard and summer cinema. All these objects are maintained and gradually revitalized. The park remains open to the public all year round and represents an exemplary space for recreation, education and meeting the local community with history and nature.

Welcome to Božena Germans Park, Fryštát
You are standing in front of one of the most beautiful and interesting parks in Moravia. In front of you is a vast green surface, which is not only an oasis of peace, but also a living testament to history and nature. Notice how sunlight intertwine between the trees and how shadows of old alleys are reflected. Park Boženy Němcové is the largest park in Karviné and its atmosphere captures you immediately. Let's go together and see what makes this place so special.
The park was founded in 1804 after the Empire reconstruction of the castle Fryštát. At the time, the landscape park in the English style was located here, which became an inspiration for other similar places in Europe. Its creation was related to the reconstruction of the castle, which became the seat of important families such as Larisch-Mönnich. The park was designed to offer not only the beauty of nature, but also space for social events and relaxation. In the 19th century, there were famous hunts on which members of the imperial family, such as Crown Prince Rudolf, appeared.
Now pay attention to what surrounds you immediately. In front of you is aleja lipa and chestnuts, which will guide you through the whole park. These trees are not only beautiful, but also old - some of them are memorable and protected. Note in particular the platinum and the ash that rises over other trees. Their massive tribes and divided crown are the real treasure of the park. These trees-solitaries, i.e. trees growing themselves, are unique and give the park its characteristic character.
Continue towards the center of the park, where the castle is located - now the restaurant. This historic building was built at a time when the park served as a place for social meetings and relaxation. His architecture is typical of the Empire style, which was very popular at the time. Notice how his facade is harmonically inserted into the surrounding nature. The summer castle was built so that its visitors could cool off in summer days and enjoy the beauty of the park.
Another interesting element of the park is the family tomb Larisch-Mönnich. This tomb is the last resting place of an important family that has been associated with Fryštát for centuries. Its existence reminds us of the important role the park played in these people's lives. The tomb is hidden between the trees, which gives the place a mysterious atmosphere.
Park Boženy Němcové is also associated with one of the most important Czech writers - Božena Nemková. Although it is not directly related to the park, its name appeared here because the park was named after it as an important personality of Czech literature. Her works, such as * Granny *, are known worldwide and her name is associated with Czech culture and history.
Now look around you and try to imagine what the park looked like in the past centuries. In 1877, there were hunts where Crown Prince Rudolf took part. These events add another layer of history and interest to the park. The park was also declared a cultural monument of the Czech Republic in 1992, meaning that its uniqueness was recognised and protected.
One of the most interesting things in the park are its rare tree alleys. Aleje Lips and chestnuts are not only beautiful, but also have great historical value. Trees-solitaries like platinum and ash are protected and their age sometimes exceeds hundreds of years. These trees are the real treasure of the park and their protection is important to preserve its uniqueness.
Let's take a look at the other attractions of the park - the field of exotic animals. This area was originally intended for the breeding of game that was hunted during hunting. Today you can see some of the animals that are here. The Obora is hidden between trees and its visit allows you to see animals in their natural habitat.
