Nature trail • easyOn footWith a pushchair
The nature trail and quiz game “Co pamatují zubři v Zubří” starts at the railway halt and links the history, nature and culture of the town across nine panels. Each panel belongs to one bison named after a native of Zubří and carries a question; the right answers spell out the hidden answer.

stops 1–2 • west along the brook
The first panel, of the bison Bohouš, stands on Nádražní street a little below the railway halt and greets visitors at the entrance to the town. From there the route runs west to the Hamerské rybníky ponds, where the bison Jenda has his stop.

stop 3 • the northernmost point of the route
The path climbs north to the Nivy area, where a small cross stands hidden at the edge of the wood, with the panel of the bison Vašek beside it on the geology of the area.

stop 4 • a village of broom-makers
From the cross the route returns to the built-up area, to the corner of Ke Kapličce and Sídlištní streets. The panel of the bison Barborka tells here of broom-making, which once supported the whole of Zubří.

stops 5–7 • the centre of the town
The centre carries three panels close together: the bison Rozárka stands by a hundred-year-old freedom lime, the bison Ondřej by the Petrohrad exhibition gallery and the bison Metoděj by the Church of Saint Catherine on ThDr. Metoděje Mičoly street.
The Church of Saint Catherine6 km from the startThe late Baroque parish church of 1785–1788 is the landmark of Zubří. Its unusual three-nave plan with built-in galleries brought it onto the list of cultural monuments; its predecessor was a small wooden church of 1575.stops 8–9 • the finish close to the start
The panel of the bison Václav stands by the Second World War memorial on Rožnovská street. The last stop, the bison Maruška on the embroidery of Zubří, is in Muzeum Zubří.
