RYSÍ SKÁLA – ALLUREMENT FOR VISITORS TO THE KOUTY SKI CENTRE
The Kouty Ski Centre in collaboration with Lesy ČR, CHKO Jeseníky and the Ministry of the Environment built a new educational tour route called Rysí skála. The route project that was also supported by a grant from the Ministry of the Environment is based on the story of a lost Lynx with its cubs which found shelter on the peak of Medvědí hora (1,163 m above sea level). In this area, a unique sheltered lookout will be built on Rysí skála, which will be easily accessible from the upper chair lift station in Kouty. The story, which also features the forest dwarves, fairytale creatures and the ruler of the mountains Praděd, will be presented in comic format on the boards at each stop with additional information about the surrounding nature.
The educational tour route also features the wooden sculptures of animals and forest beings, Praděd’s hut, the Lynx’s lair and mainly the interactive elements of the climbing frames and games for children. The route will loosely connect to the wooden Koutecký les outdoor museum.
