Discover Obora

Obora offers two distinct starting points for planning your trip: walks along the Lososí educational trail and the long-running “Vodník” Children’s Day celebration. The trail was created to support leisure activities and adds interest to walks through Obora along the Eger. “Vodník” has been held for more than 55 years and combines performances, competitions, and events on the river. You can therefore decide whether to associate Obora primarily with a walking route or with a local festive tradition.

Walks and Routes along the Eger

The Lososí educational trail is a specific point of reference for walks in Obora. The Lososí educational trail along the Eger passes through Louny and the municipalities of Vršovice and Černčice. For orientation, it is worth distinguishing between the section in Obora and the trail’s longer route along the Eger: one gives your walk a local connection, while the other places it within a route through several places.

The cycling tourism app “Na kole i pěšky” is another option for finding your way beyond this trail. Obora is included in the app, which features several routes in the surrounding area, as well as points of interest, attractions, and monuments. The trail and the app serve different purposes: the trail is associated with walks through Obora along the Eger, while the app brings together various routes and points of interest in the surrounding area. Check whether the app is available before your trip. If you are considering several destinations, the overview can help you choose.

“Vodník”: A Long-Running Children’s Day Tradition

The traditional “Vodník” Children’s Day celebration in Obora has been held for more than 55 years. The program includes performances by sword fighters, a puppet show, and competitions for children. The highlight is the arrival of water spirits on the river, where chocolate coins are handed out. The celebration thus combines performances and competitions with a special event on the water. It was first held under the name “Pod kaštany,” and later at the “Pod Babkami” site on the Eger. If “Vodník” is a reason for your trip, check the specific event date before making plans.

Art Program with a Historical Date

Another cultural attraction is the fifth gathering of artists and art lovers, “Mirvaldova Obora,” announced for August 2, 2025. It was intended to honor the distinguished Czech painter Vladislav Mirvald. The venues were to be the multifunctional building No. 26 and the “Pod Babkami” nature area on the Eger. The announced program included creative workshops featuring painting, drawing, acrylic painting on canvas, and mixed media, as well as pencil and pen drawing. The production of prints and bookmarks was also planned.
