Brno is blessed with numerous forest parks in an near the city. These are great options for those looking for an easy to moderate trail run in Brno. They’re especially pretty in autumn and also in winter when there’s snow. They can be muddy in spring. Here are some of our favorites:  [best to create your own route]

Evropsky významná lokalita Pisárky — National Forest. The closest one to the center of Brno, and can be combined with the Svratka River Paths. Access off Pisárecká. One can do 4-5 km on these wooded trails.

Wilson forest-park. Hilly forest park with some great city views. See our route combining Wilson Forest Park with Kraví Hora Park. Just north of the National Forest Park (above).

Akátky Forest Park.  2-3 km of wooded trails in the Akátky part of Brno, just east of the I/42 ring road.

Obora Holedná. A large and impressive series of forest parks in the western Žebětín & Jundrov section of Brno. A popular hiking area, with many km of forested trails. Well signposted. Be sure to climb the Rozhledna Holedná lookout tower at the northeastern end of the park to see some of the trails you’ve just run!
