The railway in its direction from Frýdek- Místek to Český Těšín ends at Dobrá village. The uniqueness of the local landscape invites for recreation throughout the whole year. For its precious nature phenomena and unspoiled nature, Morávka and its neighbourhood were included in the Beskydy Mountains Protected Landscape Area. It is appealing to any lovers of the healthy environment, hiking, fishing and game keeping. The occurrence of bears, wolves and lynxes has been recorded here recently.
