Routes for road and mountain bikes as well as places of interest in the Kostelecko micro-region in the Prostějov Region can be found in well-arranged map applications and printed maps created by Martin Gabryš, a graduate of the Faculty of Science of Palacký University. The Kostelecko micro-region consists of thirteen villages in the vicinity of Kostelec na Hané.

“New map applications, printed maps, stickers and banners were created upon agreement with the mayors of the micro-region. The aim was to create routes for cycling and hiking so that both cyclists and pedestrians visit the villages of the micro-region together with their cultural and historical monuments in their surroundings,” said Martin Gabryš, the author of the map.

The Kostelecko micro-region is an area located in the southwestern part of the Olomouc Region, near Velký Kosíř mountain. There are natural monuments, reservations and parks as well as protected trees.

“Map applications are suitable for all cyclists and tourists who want to discover the micro-region. Within the application there are filters so the user can select only what interests him. For better orientation in the area, the location feature is available or the user can print his own map. Printed maps, which can be found in several information centers around the micro-region, are intended rather for road, trekking and mountain biking, hiking and Nordic walking,” Martin Gabryš explained.

New routes for cyclists are presented both in the online map application on the PC and on the mobile phone. “It is certainly not the last thing that we created in cooperation with the mayors of individual municipalities. We will try to further expand the range of these products and show that there are many other places to visit in this area,” added Martin Gabryš.
