IFishing

Many foreign tourists are attracted to the Czech Republic by the fishing opportunities on offer there. There are two angling organizations - the Czech Angling Union and the Moravian Angling Union. Angling permits are issued by organizations entrusted with the administration of respective expanses of water upon presentation of a passport and a state angling licence. An angling permit can be valid for a specific angling ground, region or the entire area under the administration of the respective angling union. Angling Permits can be purchased for one, two, seven or fourteen days, one month, six months or one year, with prices ranging from CZK 200 to 8000. The state angling license - valid for one to two days, a period shorter than one year, one year and for young people under 15 years of age - can be purchased from district, town or local counsels, with prices raging from CZK 15 to 50

Fishing opportunities in both dead and running water are into a great extent limited. Fishing areas, which are mostly fish-farms, are kept either by the KRNAP Administration itself (Labska prehrada dam) or by Czech fishermen association. Details are available in the KRNAP Administration Information Centres or local centres of the Czech fishermen association.

 

  Air & Sky sports
When exploring the diverse beauties of the Czech and Moravian countryside you need not be restricted to the earth; you can enjoy seeing them from above, specifically from on board a tourist aircraft or a balloon basket. Taking a bird eye’s view of mountain massifs, lowlands, expanses of water and green forest belts dotted with a network of picturesque villages and towns graced with centuries-old castles and chateaux can be the most beautiful way of inspecting them.

Observation Flights
Nearly one hundred small and sports airports throughout this country operate observation flights along routes chosen by the clients themselves. If you are a holder of a pilot’s license and are able to pilot a small motor aircraft or, as the case may be, an ultra light aircraft, you can combine discovering the most beautiful places in this part of Central Europe with your hobby. The airports in the Czech Republic will provide - on the basis of a previous standard arrangement - a good base for you, whether you arrive on board you own plane or hire a plane on the spot. The Czech Republic belongs to countries with a long tradition of the aviate sports

         

Ultra light categories of Aircraft
The Amateur Aviate Association of the Czech Republic groups several thousand pilots and owners of ultra light planes. Operating within the framework of the association’s activities, schools of ultra light flying and professional companies hiring out ultra light planes are prepared to offer you their services. You can encounter them, for example, at the airports in Benesov, Hradec Kralove and numerous other places. Professional centers run good-quality, out-of-line technical facilities that can offer space for your aircraft in their hangars or arrange accommodation and other services. The Czech Republic also serves as a venue for popular meetings of ultra light aircraft, often combined with sports disciplines and always with friendly gatherings in a pleasant aviate environment.

Gliding and Motorized Gliding
One of the leading organizers of sports flying in Europe, the Aero club of the Czech Republic associates several thousand pilots of gliders and motorized gliders and runs its own flying schools. There are also professional firms operating in cooperation with the Aero club. They are prepared to rent a plane to you or offer you basic training in flying as well as courses in acrobatic or non-engine flying. The majority of sports airports operate observation flights and offer out-of-line facilities for flying enthusiasts and space in hangars for their planes. The important centers of motorized and non-motorized flying include the airport in Moravska Trebova, at which the Aviate Sports Center of the Aero club of the Czech Republic operates, and airports in Vrchlabi, Benesov and Brno.

Balloon Flying
Aviate clubs as well as private operators offer unforgettable experiences to those opting for a hot-air balloon observation flight. The most frequent routes lead above Prague or above the renowned Karlstejn and Krivoklat Castles or the Konopiste Chateau. Moreover, clients can arrange a flight above other places abounding in scenic beauties and historical monuments.

Sky-diving
Sky-diving is one of the aviate sports which are organized by the Aero club of the Czech Republic. Like the pilots of aircraft, sky-diving enthusiasts too have their own aviate schools and centers in the Czech Republic. They provide professional out-of-line facilities as well as highly experienced instructors, some of whom are world sky-diving champions. They offer sports sky-diving schemes for holders of licences and the possibility of tandem descents, including free-fall flights for visitors without any previous sky-diving experience. Sky-diving centers can be found, for example, at the airports in Pribram and Kunovice near Uherske Hradiste.

Paragliding and Hang-gliding
The pilots of gliders and hang-gliders, grouped in the Amateur Aviate Association of the Czech Republic, have their take-off points and centres in Czech mountains, for example, in the Krkonose Mountains or the Beskydy, as well as on Rana Hill near Louny or Kozakov Hill. All of these places boast a tradition of gliding that spans many years. There are schools of paragliding at selected take-off points whose experienced instructors will be glad to teach you the art of paragliding or take you for a flight on a tandem paraglide. Although paragliding and hang-gliding belong to “the adrenaline sports”, the Czech centers guarantee safe operation
